Delivery drone

A delivery drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used to transport packages that include medical supplies, food, or other goods. Given their life-saving potential, use cases for medical supplies in particular have become the most widely-tested type of drone delivery, with trials and pilot projects in dozens of countries such as Australia, Canada, Botswana, Ghana, Uganda, the UK, the US among others (see below). Delivery drones are typically autonomous and electric, sometimes also operated as a part of a fleet.

Drones are nowadays also being evaluated in Dubai and India to ferry of personnel in the form of air taxis.
