Drone deliveries are taking off. After years of hype, companies are beginning commercial operations and the FAA is testing an air-traffic control system for unmanned aircraft below 400 feet.
Zipline is working on deliveries with Walmart in Pea Ridge, AK to serve homes within 50 miles. Flytrex has a new food delivery station in TX, ferrying chicken wings, sauce and fries. Alphabet Inc.’s Wing has been delivering coffee, meals and Girl Scout cookies in Charlottesville, VA since 2019. Business publication Insider recently reported that Amazon plans commercial tests in the Fall for drone deliveries in CA/TX for items <5 pounds, and has plans for 145 drone launch stations to deliver 500 million packages/year.
The FAA is working to finalize drone regulations. MOSIMTEC can help you be ready.
