BBC News - which is no fan of drones has this story:
Football-sized drone flown 20m from Heathrow-bound plane - BBC News
According to the story the drone was flying at 3,352M ( 11,000 feet ) above the ground when it passed rapidly a plane.
I can't even imagine with a standard consumer drone this is even possible. There's no hills much above 150m near Heathrow - so the drone has climbed 3202m! Its got to be a good 12 - 15 minutes to climb that even in low winds.
Does anyone else think this is pretty much impossible with a consumer drone?
