work has been successful and the drone will be unveiled in February. Jam said this is “the first time” such a drone has been built anywhere in the world. Actually, a search for VTOL drones on YouTube would have showed Jam the initial flight of just such a drone June 24, 2009, in the United States (photo). And even that may not be the first such flight. It isn’t hard to build such drones. The challenge to guide them safely over long distances and to equip them with useful technology. Simple radio-controlled drone aircraft have been available in hobby shops in the United States since the 1950s.
