In the United States, drone deliveries are starting to become a reality in the states of California and Texas, thanks to the Amazon company. Amazon Prime Air company announced the news of the first test flights via LinkedIn. In the statement made to the press, the photo of the drone that made the delivery was shared. The Amazon company has been constantly improving its drone delivery work since 2013. The company is preparing to launch its improved and powerful designs with a range of over 9 miles in 2024.
One of the biggest advantages of drone transportation is that it quickly eliminates the traffic problem and saves time. As for the disadvantages, air traffic is negatively affected and noise. They must be made of materials that are strong enough against adverse weather conditions that may occur and that are not easily affected. Concerns about how to prevent traffic and accidents caused by drones that will deliver commercially are another issue that needs to be resolved.
In any case, drone transport seems to inevitably close a big gap in meeting the needs of our age, but it seems that the human element will always be needed for flight safety, so it seems inevitable that 'Drone Pilot' will be one of the future professions. SHGM-approved Drone Pilot licenses are given free of charge for now. As demand increases in the future, it seems that it will inevitably be subject to a fee.
