Regional operator Mesa Air Group will begin testing last-mile drone delivery in a partnership with manufacturer Flirtey.
As drone delivery services ramp up, the time is quickly approaching when warehouses will need to adjust their operations to accommodate single-package loading.
Delivery drone manufacturer Flirtey is ramping up production and now taking preorders for its system.
Deuce Drone, a new developer of aerial drone delivery systems, has a talented team, but its biggest hurdles will be established competitors, federal regulations, and customer appreciation for the technology.
Drone use for package deliveries is expected to remain largely grounded by regulatory and infrastructural hurdles during the next few years, according to Frost and Sullivan.
The logistically challenging final mile of delivery accounts for 53% of the total cost of delivery. Autonomous drone technologies could drastically reduce that percentage.
