It is catapulted into the sky in the blink of an eye (literally), or in other words, in a third of a second. Thus these drones, which they call “Zip” or zipper in English, reach their cruising speed almost immediately, and fly at 112 km/h . They notify the receiver when they have one minute left to reach their destination, and once there, they remain at about 120 m high and release the load with a parachute. The drone then returns to the distribution center and "lands" by hooking onto a mechanism that automatically rises at the right moment. Here, the operators collect it and the process begins again. With one battery charge they can travel distances of up to 240 km , and can fly in any weather and even at night. Your order at home in just two minutes The more than 40 million km of flight that Zipline drones have already accumulated have allowed the company to perfect and test its technology to apply it in the rapidly developing US drone delivery market.

In 2020, the company launched its first pilot project in North Carolina and then came Utah and Arkansas, where it is currently piloting home delivery for supermarkets. Last year, it also began delivering medical Cell Phone Number List supplies to Japan's Gotō Islands. In total, it has already made more than half a million deliveries there. With their new drones (which aim to cover densely populated areas of about 16 km in diameter), the operation will essentially be the same. Although instead of releasing the cargo by parachute, a compartment of the drone will open from which a small droid attached to it by a cable will descend, and once it has descended to the established position, it will open the space where it stores the cargo and deposit it .



Drone Source: Zipline Replacing the parachute with a tether will allow Zipline to make last-mile deliveries in smaller spaces, since according to the company, “the droid can land in an area the size of a table,” while parachutes require space equivalent to two parking spaces. In addition, the transformation of delivery centers to less complex “ on-site loading docks ” and the fact that they are capable of loading themselves also reduces infrastructure and labor costs. On the other hand, taking off and landing without the help of catapults and cables requires a lot of energy, which will drain the battery more quickly. Drone2 Source: Zipline Be that as it may, Zipline's technology puts on the table how next-generation drones can not only transform how last-mile delivery currently works in the most advanced cities.
