#ad What do you think are the biggest challenges to making wing Drone Delivery work?
There were numerous technical innovations required - I personally love the pill and the tote.
That “pill” has more patents on it than the rest of the drone! It had to be able to pick up *and* drop off the tote easily, but also hold onto it securely during flight - all while not adding additional wind resistance or significant weight to the drone. I could make an entire video on that little yellow clip alone!
But, like many new technology-driven services, policy restrictions are one of the biggest hurdles. Drone delivery services argue that in order for them to scale operations, the FAA will need to adapt and establish a new set of rules for their growing industry.
Will drone delivery come to your community any time soon? It sort of depends on what the FAA does from here.
