The Amazon Drone story
As reported a few months ago by NBC, Amazon has revealed a new delivery drone design featuring hybrid gas-electric engines that can fly up to 100 miles and carry packages weighing up to 5lb.
The drone can take off and land vertically, has a streamlined shape and can fly at speeds of up to 75mph. The company says the new drone design is safer and more efficient than previous models and will help it to expand its delivery capabilities.
Amazon launched its Prime Air drone delivery service in December 2022 after nearly a decade of talk.
Fast-forward to today, and Prime Air has faced multiple setbacks, including crashes and layoffs. The programme was first announced in 2013 with a goal of delivering packages within four to five years, but regulatory challenges and technical difficulties have delayed progress.
In 2019, Amazon received approval from the FAA to test drones beyond visual line of sight, but it has yet to launch commercial operations. According to recent news reports, the company recently laid off dozens of employees from its drone team as it seeks to streamline operations and reduce costs.
