Just how big does a model aircraft have to get before it’s called a drone?

Maybe a mini-zeppelin with the ability to move helium into and back out of a compressed tank to control its buoyancy would be safer as it does not need vigorously chopping blades to keep it aloft.

And however it came, it would be neat if it could bring with itself a video depicting the view from its flight.

This sounds like it’s on the verge of overreaction. The flights appear to happen at the height of kites.

Outside of the delivery driver manually flying a quad copter from the curb to the front door, there is no drone delivery system in existence that could have been used by FlowerDeliveryExpress.com. This is all a publicity stunt.
