Fit2Fly ProjectNASA’s Fit2Fly project wants to make future commercial drone fleet operations routine, safe, and boring. How can future operators of commercial drone fleets know without a doubt that their aircraft are fit to fly? It is a tough problem, because every flight will effectively break the chain of custody for their aircraft, and having technicians do detailed inspections after each flight is not viable for large, busy fleets.
