What is the maximum legal speed for flying a drone?

50 mph
75 mph
100 mph
120 mph

The correct answer is: 100 mph

The maximum legal speed for flying a drone under FAA regulations is 100 mph. This limit is established to ensure safe operation in airspace shared with other manned aircraft and to minimize risks associated with high-speed flight. At 100 mph, drones can operate efficiently while maintaining a safety margin relative to their maneuverability and the environment in which they are flying. This speed allows for effective surveillance and data collection while also mitigating the potential for incidents with other aerial vehicles. Keeping drones within this speed limit not only helps the operator maintain control but also aligns with regular traffic protocols that help in maintaining safety in both manned and unmanned aviation operations.
