This well beyond what the FAA realize and I believe this is going to be a very living expanded market with laws, operations and jurisdictions. I'm working on underwater drone that can also take flight and back into underwater operations to 1 meter at the moment, and the operations of that around boats and swimmers as well as fish and underwater hazards, does that fall with FAA or does it fall with Maritime laws when it hits the water. What does it mean if the drone has commercial activity underwater and what jurisdiction takes over from water operations to flight. I hope an Internet forum can help government execute a lot of good decisions based on actual working facts to develop new laws of operations. Your insight on the matter are considerations that most novices to this business are not aware of.

Yes, not a problem! I have a whole slue of other issues I can see confronting with communications, security, and eco-systems. I probably forgot a dozen more. All of this should be right up your alley as well. Let me know of the forum link. Cheers!
