IT IS NOT A SCIENCE FICTION .But soon it is going to be a reality .In future goods would be delivered by air flying drones.These would be much faster and easy to travel, with no traffic jams to delay the delivery
Yes ,Amazon ,the biggest online store in the world ,would have drones for delivery of its on line shopping orders .Named as octocopters and the service as ' prim air' could fill the skies by 2015. A remote control helicopter,would picks up the goods and flies off to its final destination
Amazon hopes ,through use of drones packages weighing up to 2.3 kg will be in hands of the customers within 30 minutes of them placing an order.
The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) is actively working on rules for unmanned aerial vechiles. In the US, the FAA has approved the use of drones by police and govenrment
agencies .and has issued permits.
Now , by 2015 US air space is expected to be opened up to all kinds of commercial drones, with Europe quickly following suit in 2016, when everything from books to pizza could be delivered by aerial robots or drones.
The prototype has already be made.The body of the device is about the size of a flat screen monitor , and it is attached to eight small helicopter rotors and sits on four tall legs.
The claws under the belly of the 'octocopt'er' then latch onto a standard sized plastic bucket that rolls down a conveyor belt at aAmazon's distribution cent re.Inside the bucket is the order.
The drone lifts off and whizzes into the air like a giant mechanical insect to deliver the package just 30 minutes after clicking the "pay" button on the Amazon.com.Then it buzzes back into the air and returns to base.
The mini drone are powered by environmentally friendly motors and can cover area within a 10 mile(16- kilometer) radius of fulfillment cent res, thus covering a significant
portion of population in many urban areas.
The drone operates autonomously and also follow the GPS coordinates that they receive to drop the items off at target locations
According to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, these drones are safe, the prototype has redundant motors that will keep it in the air and prevent it from crashing.'They are also very green, it is better than driving trucks around' said Bezos.
