LAS VEGAS, NV - SEPTEMBER 07: The Saxon Remote Systems Viper M10 fixed wing autonomous electric vehicle is displayed at InterDrone, an international drone conference and exposition for commercial drones, at the Paris Las Vegas on September 7, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Viper has a 10-foot wingspan and can fly for up to six hours at a time and between eight and 10 hours with optional solar paneling installed. The USD 15,000 unit can carry up to a 15-pound payload and has a first-person view camera and LiDAR technology to assist use for surveillance or inspecting crops or power lines. The conference runs through September 9 and is expected to feature 160 exhibitors showing off their latest products and services to more than 4,000 attendees. The Federal Aviation Administration's Part 107 regulations to operate small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) or drones, went into effect in August allowing operators of commercial drones weighing more than .55 pounds and less than 55 pounds to obtain a remote pilot certificate after passing a FAA knowledge exam.
