Is the Kestril bound by the same regulations as the X-Star type drones?
If so how will it even be of any use beyond the xstar? At 40mph it will quickly be out of sight so will Autel hard code the rules into the new aircraft limiting range and altitude?
"The FAA's 624-page rulebook allows commercial drones weighing up to 55 pounds to fly during daylight hours and lower than 400 feet in the air, or higher if within 400 feet of a taller building or tower. The aircraft must remain within sight of the operator or an observer who is in communication with the operator.
The rules govern commercial flights, such as for aerial photography or utilities inspection."
