DroneXL

DroneXL is an independent specialty news site covering drone technology, regulations, and industry developments, founded and run by journalist Haye Kesteloo. Its orientation is firmly pro-drone-industry: it generally advocates for fewer restrictions on drone use and domestic manufacturing growth. Under the current Trump administration, its coverage has been supportive of executive orders expanding drone innovation but sharply critical of policies it sees as harming drone operators, such as the FCC's 2025 ban on DJI equipment.
