The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Amazon has applied to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for permission to begin testing drones on its corporate property. The drones would eventually be used to deliver small packages of approximately 5 pounds each, to Amazon's customers worldwide. The company expects that each delivery would take approximately 30 minutes. Amazon is hoping to have the program in operation within one year. The FAA has

Goood news

It will definitely be good news for Amazon if it is approved.

How can we sign up for the drone affiliate program? ;)

I'm looking into this. You can buy one with a camera on Amazon Prime for $68.99.

Like we don't have enough pollution to deal with. How do you think this will impact the already "crowded" airspace? Perhaps there will be more work for the ATC (Air Traffic Controllers). Many factors to consider but time will tell.

Some of the drones I have seen on TV are designed to look like birds. You wouldn't even realize you were seeing a drone, not a bird.

Money does make a difference. See?

Yep.

It's just amazing what people can do any more! Personally I don't see how this can work, but then again I'm not the smartest person on the block either!

I think it would be complicated, but part of Amazon's argument is that drones are already widely in use as a hobby or recreational use, without regulation.

my word the mind boggles with the thought of this new development

It would certainly change the world, wouldn't it?

I just can't imagine this would be safe! So many potential risks! Wow!

I agree, but Amazon seems to think they can pull it off within a year.

I saw on TV a few weeks back some plans like that using drones to deliver mail packages.

Yes, there have been at least 2 TV programs that I am aware of, one was Sixty Minutes, and the other was a special on Amazon on CNBC.

Very interesting. I'm curious to see how it will work out.

Me, too. Thanks for your comment.

Seriously? I am not sure what I think about it.

Seriously. This application is for testing on Amazon's property only - not for anything offsite. Nothing has been approved by the FAA yet.
