Flying Into The Future
Amazon is truly considering using “Amazon Prime Air Drones” for fast delivery.
The drones are estimated to take 30 minutes to deliver a product. They have been trying to get this invention up and running for many years, and the thought is finally beginning to process. The only obstacle is the FAA not accepting the drones.
The headquarters where the drones are packaged and sent off are in Seattle, Washington. There are many different states that are practicing using the drones.

“It’s a good idea, but I don’t think it will work,” says an anonymous Treasure Mountain student. “I don’t believe that it will deliver the package as fast as they say, but it is a pretty cool idea.”
This project is said to help with customer population and getting purchased items to customers faster. To use these drones, you have to purchase Amazon Prime, which is a program to receive your items faster, and buy movies, apps and more for a cheaper amount of money.
These “quadcopters” have four fan like wings that keep it flying in motion. Heavier objects will not be able to fly by this drone, but most objects can be flown.
Some drones will be equipped with high-tech cameras to take pictures in the sky.
Customers have asked if they are afraid it will interfere with airplanes, crash into trees, or be illegally programmed to drop in someone other than the customer who ordered it.

Amazon says that the “quadcopters” will not interfere with airplanes, but could possibly get caught in a tree and still be delivered to the customer.
