Future Flight helps people prepare for an industry that is already reshaping how we farm, inspect infrastructure, deliver goods, and respond to emergencies. Drone technology is no longer the bottleneck; people, investment, and manufacturing are. The book shows students and career changers where the new jobs are forming, from remote operations and drone fleet maintenance to systems integration, and what skills employers need. It gives educators a clear case for building programs that keep pace with employer demand. It helps policymakers, investors, and community leaders see the workforce, supply chain, and manufacturing gaps that decide whether this industry creates good jobs in the United States. Drawing on more than a decade of work with operators, educators, investors, and policymakers, Sharon Rossmark turns a complex, fast-moving field into a practical guide for the decisions being made now, so that more people, in more communities, share in what comes next.
