Low-cost passenger-capable drones raise safety concerns

Quadcopters reportedly sold in China for about $100 can allegedly carry a person. A video described a drone bought through Temu that could accommodate a passenger but was remotely operated and crashed; it was unclear whether anyone was aboard.

At an air show in the Middle East, another drone reportedly fell from the sky during a live demonstration. No one was aboard. The devices described would not pass U.S. aviation certification requirements, an assessment that such incidents could harm the broader industry.
