Recently, Simple Flying was honored to interview AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. CEO Bill Irby about his drone manufacturing company's unique capabilities. Unlike General Atomics’ larger reconnaissance drones , the 90-minute endurance drones can be hauled in a backpack and operated with a day of training by a single operator.
