Drones to Deliver Construction Payload?

Posted February 10, 2014 12:00 PM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

Military drones are in the news nearly every day due to their military importance in destroying terrorist targets without risking the life of an on-board pilot. Now the leading online store of everything from books to construction tools is piloting a new program to utilize unmanned robotic drones for fast and efficient delivery. With FAA approval pending, the program could be online in as little as five years. Can't leave the job site? Imagine ordering a cordless hammer drill via cell phone app and having it delivered by air in less than thirty minutes. Catch the high flying demo video here.
