Rules and Regolation drones (netherlands)
The plan
Amazon is working in, among others, the US, the UK, Austria and Israel on different vehicle designs that can deliver a package within 30 minutes after ordering it. This function called Amazon Prime Air can deliver packages up to five pounds (around 2.3 kilograms). When an order is placed a worker in an Amazon warehouse picks the desired product an places it on a conveyor which brings it to a drone. The package is then loaded into the vehicle and the vehicle takes off to deliver the order. At the destination the drone will look for the special Amazon landing mat to drop its order. The look and characteristics of these drones will continue to evolve over time to discover how best to deliver packages in a variety of operating environments. The drones will operate at speeds up to almost 100 kph at an altitude of 100 meters. The current drones have a range of 15 miles (around 24 km).
