Public Perception of Drones… or Should that be Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems?

Abstract

The survey was conducted at RMIT University open day, on a Sunday when the campus was open to the public. It should be noted that the survey was conducted on the street, and the campus is in fact 6% of the Melbourne central business district. As such, participation was open to the general public, with diverse demographics collected. One hundred paper surveys were distributed and collected, of which 83 were completed correctly. Mistakes were made, some with multiple options selected etc; these responses were omitted.
