It's already been three years since Amazon first revealed its somewhat audacious plan to make deliveries by drone. But the company is quite serious about this, and today it is announcing that it complete the first Amazon Prime Air drone-powered delivery. The company recently launched a trial in Cambridge, England -- and on December 7th, Amazon completed its first drone-powered delivery. It took 13 minutes from order to delivery, with the drone departing a custom-built fulfillment center nearby.

If I order a drone on Amazon, will a drone deliver it to me?

If I'm not mistaken, even the best drones have a max 45 minute fly time with their batteries.

Do you have to live within 10 miles of a fulfillment center to get a drone delivery?

DHL has been doing this for years in the North Sea and in Alaska.

Nice. I live two miles from a fulfillment center by the way the crow files.

BTW, is that saying going away now? Is the new saying going to be "by the way the drone files?"
