<div dir="auto">drones, at least in Canada are even more regulated. You must fly at least 76.2m away from any building(due to privacy concerns), but have a maximum flight height of 90m. You cannot fly within 5.5km of an aerodrome and 1.8km of a heliport.<div dir="auto">If you are flying non-recreationally(would collecting orthophotos be considered non-rec.?) you need a license to operate.

People tend to not realize it, but kites tend to be quite heavily
regulated too and, at least in the couple of countries for which
I've looked at the regulation, are legally limited in ways that
don't make them particularly attractive as a remote sensing platform
(obviously some of the issues are the same as with UAVs so it is
unlikely that the regulators would leave big open holes in their
rules in other countries). <br>

<div>The fix wings are still expansive but can produce

It would be interesting to examine the faisability to
