Pilot Union Calls on FAA to Block Rainmaker’s Controversial Drone Cloud-Seeding Proposal
Pilot Union Urges FAA to Reject Rainmaker's Drone Cloud-Seeding Plan: Is Drone-Based Weather Modification Safe? The skies above are becoming increasingly crowded, not just with airplanes, but now with drones. One particularly controversial application of drone technology is cloud-seeding, and the proposal by Rainmaker, a company specializing in weather modification, is stirring up a storm of concern, especially from pilot unions. This article delves into the details of Rainmaker's proposal, the pilot union's opposition, and the broader implications of using drones for cloud seeding. Rainmaker's Cloud-Seeding Drone Project: A New Approach to Rainfall Enhancement? Rainmaker aims to revolutionize cloud-seeding through the use of drones. Traditionally, cloud-seeding involves airplanes dispersing substances like silver iodide into clouds to stimulate precipitation. Rainmaker's plan involves deploying a fleet of specialized drones equipped with advanced sensors and dispersi…
