The race to dominate the drone economy has just entered a new phase. On August 6, 2025, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy unveiled a sweeping proposal that could dramatically expand where and how drones operate in American skies. The new Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) rule aims to remove one of the biggest regulatory barriers in the industry. By allowing unmanned aircraft to fly without needing direct line of sight from the ground, this rule opens the door to broader commercial use across sectors like agriculture, shipping, infrastructure, emergency response, and energy.
