Amazon First Aerial Delivery

Amazon says it has successfully trialed its Prime Air drone delivery service in Cambridge, UK, by delivering a TV streaming stick and bag of popcorn directly to the garden of a nearby customer.

The breakthrough suggests that autonomous aerial delivery could become a viable business sooner than thought, albeit only for customers with huge gardens, who live close to the delivery depot, and want items weighing less than 2.6kg.

Parrot Swing Minidrone

Parrot Swing is a quadcopter with airplane power 

It can fly horizontally as a normal quadcopter



And be propelled longitudinally as a fixed wing airplane








How to choose the Quadcopter

I wanted to make this post as good as I can.

So, how to choose a quadcopter before you make the purchase decision?

What are the main features you may consider?

Total size

Maximum speed and altitude

Motors and propellers power

Maximum Payload

Quadcopter Maneuvers

Maximum endurance and flight time

Stills and Video Photography

Camera and its resolution and stabilization through gimbals

Communication and Navigation Peripherals like GPS, GSM, GPRS and 3G

Headless Mode

Safety Maneuvers like Back Home when loos of communication or before battery drainage


There are some kits if you consider building it yourself.

I saw a video showing some quadcopter with new features and technologies. Here they are: Phenox

This one is small and can be controlled using sounds like whistle.




CyPhy



This one comes with the GeoFence feature that predetermines the flight area which makes it suitable for training.




Carbone
The Carbon Fiber Paper Airplane


This one looks exactly as the paper plane design we are used to but with a fuselage made of reinforced carbon fiber and can be controlled with a smart phone.

Hexo








PlexiDrone





DJI Mavic Pro




3DR Solo
