…In particular Zipline and Drones.

Drone delivery is a revolutionary way of transporting goods and services using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It has the potential to transform the future of logistics and e-commerce by offering faster, cheaper, greener, and more convenient delivery options.

They use electric aircraft that can fly up to 80 miles per hour and carry up to 4 pounds of cargo.
