"A study commissioned last year for the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International forecast the total economic impact of drone integration in the U.S. from 2015-17 to be $13.7 billion with more than 70,000 jobs created", prof. Paul Karlowitz from the University of Louisiana at Monroe recently explained. With the prospect of a booming demand for UAV pilots in the near future, a lot of persons are interested in learning how to fly a UAV, more commonly known as a "drone".
