Guests at the meeting Tuesday inspected the two vehicles.
One, the HawkEye, is no bigger than a suitcase with a maximum flight time of 30 minutes. It is held in the air by parachute.
The other, the delta-winged Unicorn, has a wingspan of no more than 6 feet and is launched into the air by a bungee cord that acts as a slingshot.
Each vehicle is battery-powered, and weighs only a couple of pounds.
A drone today typically costs $10,000-$15,000, but the price should drop over time
