I'm a bit sad that it is a hexcopter. A plane would be a lot cheaper and more efficient for this application.

Can't believe it's taken this long for this exploit.

agree -- the asymmetry offered by drones is ripe for exploitation. already happening: http://www.cnet.com/news/drone-crashes-trying-to-deliver-dru... and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2670560/Drug-deliver.... more importantly, i'm guessing malicious actors may be testing out defenses in these articles: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/08/jet-drone-near-miss... (and the like). why put someone on the plane to take it down when you can just throw up a drone to fly into the turbine on approach?

I think it have not, what has taken so long is to get caught.
