Agriculture drones are commonplace on a lot of U.S. farms today, but now, the world’s largest has been approved for use over U.S. fields.
The Pelican-2 aircraft was designed and built by Pyka, a robotics company.
It is the largest autonomous aircraft approved by the FAA for commercial use, and it has an 80-gallon payload, covering 222 acres per hour.
Pyka teamed up with several other ag companies to distribute the drone. Company leaders say deliveries are set to go out over the coming months.
