[030117.EN.BIZ] Amazon Plans to Launch and Restock Delivery Drones From Airships

IT has come to light that e-retailing giant Amazon.com plans to use airships to store products and serve as a base for deliveries, reports the Huffington Post. Drones are to be launched from "airborne fulfilment centres" (AFC) that would hover at 13,700 metres and be restocked and resupplied by "shuttles or smaller airships", said the report.

The plan was revealed by analyst Zoe Leavitt at technology data and research firm CB Insights, who spotted the patent filed two years ago by Amazon seeking permission to use such airships, said the report.

Amazon was not available for comment. Yet, the company is preparing to start using drones for deliveries in 2017.
