Nelson,

You have done a good job with the paper. The introduction gives a good idea of what drones are and gets the reader familiar with the technology. The paper is clearly labeled, I didn’t have trouble finding any of the sections. But, I think it’s too broken up, instead of reading like one big paper about drones, it reads like multiple papers about drones. I think the key to tying all the different sections would be the have a concrete thesis statement that brings it all together. When reading and reviewing your paper, I gained a lot of knowledge on drone technology but I was having trouble understanding your stand on it. Your paper will flow better that you. You also need to proof read your paper for grammatical errors such as for run on and punctuation marks. You have put a great effort on the paper, it really was very informative.
