Abstract:
A method, system, and/or computer program product controls operations of an aerial drone within a predetermined airspace. One or more processors detects that the aerial drone has entered a predetermined airspace, and also determines a physical size of the aerial drone. In response to detecting that the aerial drone has entered the predetermined airspace, one or more processors directs the aerial drone to alter a velocity of the aerial drone based on its physical size.
