There are probably models that can act as repeaters. Isn’t the 1 mile range for fiber optic wired ones? You can control a drone by satellite if you want to.
Does anybody here actually think drone swarms aren’t the future?
Both, nautical mile and metre are derived from earth’s dimensions: One nautical mile is an arc secondminute at the equator, i.e. its circumference is 360·60 NM = 21,600 NM. One metre originally was 1/40,000,000 of the circumference through the poles (or 1/10,000,000 of the distance from a pole to the equator).
Edit: Forgot three zeros in the definition of a metre.
How many feet in a mile?
Five tomatoes (5280)
Thank you for the mnemonic.
Easy. One mile is 1609.34 meters. One meter is 3.28 feet. 1609.34 times 3,28 is 5278,63.
So you just need about six drones to reach the necessary altitude…
Only if 5 of the drones have little arms to control the next one in the chain

Some fibre drones have a range of 10km and that can only go up, I think. It’s crazy.
It’s probably not the replacement for everything else though.
Depends on your shoe size
Doesn’t it also depend on how long the mile is?
It’s 5280. It’s not hard to remember if you have an IQ above absolute freezing.
YSK only three countries on Earth use the Imperial system of measurement, Myanmar, Liberia, and the U.S. The hostility is not needed.
It’s very easy if you remember that are 3 feet in a yard, 22 yards in a chain, 10 chains in a furlong, and 8 furlongs on in a mile!
Ah, now it makes sense!
but what if they’re above water and we need to use nautical miles?
Those are actually much saner: 10 cables in a nautical mile and 100 fathoms in a cable.

What’s absolute freezing? Did you mash up absolute zero, as in zero degrees Kelvin, with freezing, as in zero degrees Celsius?
Yes actually.
