Last week, we asked AVweb readers how they feel about sharing airspace with unmanned aircraft (UAVs).

According to our poll, the majority of you aren’t too keen on it: 56% of you said, Until UAVs can match the judgment and flexibility of pilots in the cockpit, leave them to the military. At the other end of the spectrum, 5% of you were willing to phase them in at night and see how they do, and 9% were O.K. with just letting them in, arguing that their electronics, combined with ground control, probably make for safer operations than what we have.
