the TIE Fighter extremely short ranged and dependent upon carrier ships to deploy in enemy systems. Because of the special equipment required, it was very difficult for them to disembark without a carrier ship to land on.

friendly than other leading military aerial machines since they utilize the use or electrical energy"(Braun 73-87) A drones ability to fly using lithium ion batteries and being constructed of lightweight aluminum makes it more environmentally friendly. Drones are switching to the use of solar power, and no longer need to be charged at charging ports. They now charge sitting in the sun. This is an advantage because there is no energy expense for the unmanned aerial vehicle making it more…

There should be a law where the government is allowed to take away the drone owner's drone, if any drone laws are broken beyond extent.

This idea of taking away the drone for misuse is beneficial because owners…
