User:Geo Swan/Tushev Aerials

Nina Tushev and Georgi Tushev, early adopters of unmanned aerial vehicles, formed Tushev Aerials to promote the technology, and to use it for humanitarian purposes.

The Tushevs were building their own unmanned aerial vehicles before there was a market for prebuilt vehicles. They have loaned their devices to groups helping indigenous people's document their traditional lands. Other groups have used their vehicles to monitor environmental disasters. Their vehicles took iconic photos in US National Parks, including of lava lakes in Hawaii, prior to the Park's service banning all vehicles.
