Well, Amazon is promising next day delivery to Prime customers, so why not ship the luggage thru them?

I can see how a drone-like plane could be useful, and drones do use electrical power for flight. Maybe one drone for passengers—they could then nix the pilot’s weight, since there’d be no pilot.

Maybe get Amazon to fly a luggage drone in a wingman configuration? ;->

It doesn’t say a RANGE of 650 miles, it says 650 MILES per HOUR. I have a tough time believing that, for sure, especially since the fastest prop plane on record is 623 mph...

With a blunder like that, I tend to ignore the article altogether.
