Amazon has a plan for thousands of drones to fill the sky
- skorecky 11y agoEven if amazon manages to get all of this approved. Does anyone really want to listen to that annoying hum of drones flying over head all day?
- matheweis 11y agoI don't know anyone who works for Amazon... especially in this department, but if I did, I'd recommend a staged approach. Medium (small GA) sized drones, and "drone ports" aka numerous, smaller, autonomous-only, airports would probably be a much easier sell to the FAA than door-to-door drones. The traffic issues would be much easier, and they would also be a better fit with the current airspace. You need this piece of the puzzle for door-to-door delivery anyway, why not do this instead of jumping right to the more controversial low altitude drones?
