Delivery Drones are a new era of technology in the transportation industry. Delivery Drones help people get any packages they want onto their doorstep in a short period of time. The drone is all electric and needs to charge a couple times a day. The drones journey first starts at the warehouse where the package get put into a custom box for the drone to carry. Then the drone hovers in place in an open area and the package gets attached to a wire. The drone hoists the package close to the body and it ascends to 400 feet in the air. It uses GPS and different sensors to paint a picture to make sense of its surroundings. When it arrives to the customers house it scans for a safe landing spot and lowers the package gently. The drone detaches and heads back to the warehouse to make another delivery.
Delivery Drones are better than delivery vans in many different ways. It allows a faster delivery and helps someone get something quickly if they need it. One popular delivery drone company is Zipline. They have warehouses all around the world but what they are doing is incredible. The drones look like planes and have a compartment inside to carry the package. They carry all kinds of medicine for people who need it urgently. Delivery drones also are all electric so there is no carbon emission. They also cut down delivery costs by a lot because delivery companies need to pay for fuel. The drones also don't need to get paid so employment costs go way down when you don't need to pay employees.
