Amazon to test its delivery drones in the US

Amazon’s Drone team is all smiles these days. The America’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted Amazon’s request to test its new Uavs in the US. And the best part of this approval is that it got it in a week’s time, while in the previous case it had to wait for six months and, despite that it had to take its entire test overseas. And though FAA agreed to its first request later on, the drone had gone obsolete and Amazon had already designed a new version.

However, along with permission the FAA department has set certain do’s and don’ts. For instance, the UAV won’t be allowed to fly higher than 400 feet, or can exceed 100 miles per hour in speed.

Besides Amazon, dozens of other Companies have been granted approval to test fly their Drones in the US. It’s in keeping with the FAA’s new approach to grant permission to fly low-risk UAVs. These UAVs or drones are mostly used by film/TV companies and specifically by those companies that carry out tests to gather data for future purposes, say the e-commerce companies. However, the agency doesn’t follow the one-size-fits-all policy here and reviews each application, and grants quick approval to those that has already received previous exemption.
