Amazon reported that develop “a family” of different types of drones equipped for different environments and unveiled the first one which he described as “a marvel of modern technology.”
“We are testing many different vehicle designs and delivery mechanisms to discover the best way to send packages in a variety of environments,” Amazon said in a statement.
“We have more than one dozen prototypes that we developed in our laboratories for research and development. The appearance and characteristics of the vehicles will evolve over time, “he said
The company., based in Seattle, showed in a video a drone to fly below 120 meters (400 feet), at a distance of up to 24 kilometers for deliveries in 30 minutes or less.
The drone take off like a helicopter and fly like a plane carrying packages up to 2.5 kilograms and will be able to avoid obstacles in the air and on land using a technology of multiple sensors that allow you to navigate safely to the recipient’s address.
Approaching the home delivery, the system will issue a notice to the customer informing that the package is next to come.
The drone will then use its sensors to scan a secure area as close as possible relegation to the delivery address. Then he will go down and open a hatch at the bottom to place the package, after which he will take off to return to base.
Amazon said the service will be launched once the company gets “the necessary policy support safe driving our vision. “
In March, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized the company to fly unmanned research aircraft in service” Prime Air “.
Other companies are also exploring drones as a new method of package delivery.
Earlier this month, Wal-Mart asked permission from the FAA to begin testing drone, while Google revealed that it wants to launch a service drone in 2017.
