Well, i would never approve of wireless flights for two and only reasons,
security and safety.

not atleast in the technoloy we have right now, because an unmanned plane,
also has no chances of having any human errors, on the other hand a manned
plane has many chances of human, error.

Also various factor such as disturbance, and power consumption will come to
effect.
