So what are you kids waiting for?!
Now get your orders delivered within minutes by drones!!
Tired of the excruciating delay in delivery of products? Well, you may not have to wait anymore. The ecommerce giant, Amazon was granted a patent in April for airborne warehouses that use drones to make speedy deliveries. The patent was recently discovered by an analyst at CB Insights.
Amazon’s patent contends that such a system would allow for deliveries to be made in minutes. The move could also reduce the resources needed to make a delivery. The patent describes how Amazon blimps would circle over cities at 45,000 feet and launch drones carrying orders. The drones would initially fall to earth relying largely on gravity, and their motors would fire up for the final stretch.
The patent titled, “Airborne fulfillment center utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles for item delivery” patent” and numbered US9305280B1, opens a huge range of possibilities. Parking outside a sporting event, or concert, or political rally could allow Amazon to target a specific audience with an avalanche of products for that audience. There’s also huge potential here for development of more drone technology and different methods of creating flying vehicles. Jetpacks and flying cars may not be that far away.
According to a report by CNBC, the company also successfully trialed its first delivery by drone in the U.K. towards the end of last year, and is pushing ahead with plans to make this widely available.
