  • A 165-mile, super-highway for drones is being developed between the UK's Midlands and the Southeast.  Here's what we know:
  • It's a world first
  • Allows pilotless drones to make high speed deliveries across the country
  • Developed by Altitude Angel
  • Skeptics warn it poses risks for privacy and safety of Britons living in the flight path
  • Also, for people in the flight path, it may be annoying and intrusive
  • It will contain 30 Arrow-Towers to control drones from the ground
  • Each tower offers a range of 2.5 miles and coordinates traffic
  • Super-highway drones will fly at 400-feet while commercial aircraft will be at 35,000 feet
  • Altitude Angel estimates that no more than 10 drones will use the 165-mile super-highway a day
  • Also of significance, most of the drones are fixed wing and almost silent
  • The project has gotten the green light from the UK government and awaits Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approval.
