        <title>On the Record with Virginia Tech: Mark Blanks</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2019/02/1_7rboryme.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ It’s no longer a novelty to see a drone overhead, but knowing its purpose or who is flying it can be pretty challenging. Join Virginia Tech expert Mark Blanks for a conversation about topics including on-going remote identification work and air traffic control for drones — and why both are vital to widespread package delivery of consumer goods by unmanned aircraft. Blanks directs the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (MAAP) — one of seven national FAA-designated test sites for unmanned aircraft. On the Record events are a series of regular media roundtables hosted by the university’s Media Relations team with a goal of elevating Virginia Tech research and connecting faculty to reporters from national and trade publications. ]]></description>
