A year ago, Amazon announced that soon it will provide its customers a package with drones. He published at this video of a flying machine carries a small yellow box with a characteristic “a” of the magazine straight to the customer’s garden. Service is called Amazon Prime Air. Dron had to deliver the parcel within 30 minutes of placing an order.
While the announcement that drones-couriers will appear soon, today service has not been started, and over months it was getting quieter and quieter about it. As it turns out, the US has not abandoned the project (or wants of recall just before Christmas). On Sunday night on the Amazon has published a video of a new type of drone, which is a hybrid of airplane and helicopter. For the presentation of the device hired Jeremy Clarkson, the former leading the program Top Gear.
What did you learn about the new device Amazon? After loading the package it vertically rises to a height of 400 feet (approx. 120 m), and starts the tail rotor changing device with a “chopper” in a “plane”. This solution has dramatically improved coverage. The material in question is about 15 miles (approx. 24 km). In addition, the drone is equipped with a system to avoid collisions. It also seems that, compared with the previous model, the device definitely grown.

Interestingly the film in question is the whole family that operates drones on Amazon. Different models are to be used for different tasks. Still, it is not known when the service starts.
