Thanks.
An American company should be able to stand up and fill any gap.
One would like to think that. "Should" is the operative word, here. A person with certain skills can build a very good multi-copter drone from openly available parts. The real question is of doing it on a serial-production scale, at a 3-digit to low 4-digit retail price ... then building the reputation for quality hardware that DJI has earned.
Eventually, yes. But by abdicating our industrial leadership to China over the past 20 year, they’ve acquired the knowledge, skills, and experience and we have not. I’d like to see a “man on the moon” scale national effort focused on bridging the gaps in <5 years.
Until you look at labor laws, environmental regulations, zoning, local government kickbacks, and insurance requirements and realize that new the USA-made drones will cost $5,795.99 each. :)
Nice way to shadow-ban drone ownership for all those uppity conservatives who don't need to be spying on their betters, anyway.
