Amazon Prime Air

We’re excited to share Prime Air — something the team has been working on in our next generation R&D lab.

The goal of this new delivery system is to get packages into customers’ hands in 30 minutes or less using unmanned aerial vehicles.

Putting Prime Air into commercial use will take some number of years as we advance the technology and wait for the necessary FAA rules and regulations.

Check out this footage from a recent test flight.

During their interview on 60 Minutes, Amazon revealed their R & D project called Amazon Prime Air.  Basically you can get something delivered (within reasonable size) within 10 miles of their numerous fulfillment center in about 30 minutes.  Time to move closer to a Amazon Fulfillment Center!
