Drones are already being used by many businesses, and federal officials are increasingly concerned about crowded air space, especially around airports. Amazon’s foray into drone delivery has been stalled, but now another tech leader wants permission to fly drones.

Google is hoping that drones will aid its efforts in providing internet access in hard to reach areas, a service Facebook has also looked to market. Google also hopes to use drones for a wide range of data gathering operations, according to the Motley Fool.

Like Amazon, Google also wants to use drones in its planned “Project Wing” package delivery service.

Recent documents Google submitted to the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) have revealed the company’s drone plans. Last year, Google acquired an aerospace company which Google’s Alphabet offshoot is now managing and planning to use for its “Project Titan” drone making division.

Some suspect that the FAA will be more amenable to uses of drones for providing internet access in less populated areas, since the unmanned devices will not be vying for air space in crowded places. Bringing internet access to underserved communities is also a goal of the Federal Communications Commission.

Google’s plans for data gathering may also get government support, since unlike package delivery, the services could be used to aid in scientific and public interest research. For example, drones could be used to research deforestation, or collect data useful to climate scientists.
