My question is.......how long will it take before there is a drone failure that either accidentally drops the package or the drone fails and drops out of the sky and damages property or worst yet injures someone. Drones are mechanical machines and no matter how perfect the manufacturer tries to convince us that they don't fail failures happen. At some point property damage or a personal injury will happen and that will lead to major law suit that will have the affected company questioning if drones are the way to go.
Don't forget, in the US, the agency that is in charge of this also said Boeing is doing an adequate job building jets. I'll fly Airbus for now.
I am a drone delivery doubter. I live in the Michigan lake effect snow belt. High winds, whiteout snow squalls and hillbillies will make drone delivery unprofitable.
Agreed. It will not be feasible in many climates.
@51Drones long distance delivery for you in the Dakotas will hard too. How many delivery drones will fall from the sky before the FAA pulls it? I can't see a profitable way to deliver cheaper than a human in a car.
@@shadowofchaos8932 The FAA hasn't pulled Boeing yet.
@@miller-joel don't forget, drones are evil according to some and will be used for bad purposes.
Same here in Colorado ...High Winds Rain Snow Fog...all gonna make it very difficult to be flying around
The Zero Emissions argument is null and void. The UK Advertising Standards Agency has banned EV manufacturers from using "Zero Emissions" in their sales campaigns because it's false, emissions are produced when the batteries are charged from the grid and that will also apply to delivery drones.
Very interesting video! I enjoyed it.
They are also going to run through batteries like it's free candy. Producing toxic waste.
A very large portion of power is generated by coal plants just because something is powered by electricity doesn't mean it has less of a carbon footprint. The manufacturing of batteries has a very nasty carbon footprint also. Someday we will catch up with the science and we will be able to pollute less by going with electric vehicles not today.
I enjoyed the video great conversation
Hi Russ, good to hear from you. I don't know the average UPS driver can make between 15-25 deliveries per hour. Those folks run their butts off LITERALLY . I can see utilization of drones in certain circumstances but when you factor in wind and inclement weather the UPS driver will still be the most reliable resource for residential delivery. Just my thoughts.

Russ, do you really believe that they will save time and money? It is not going to be feasible in the city environments, rural areas yes, but not in the city or highly populated areas. I live in The Villages in Central Florida, and everyday we have Amazon, UPS and FedEx trucks up and down the streets. There is no way that it is cost effective and to deliver a truck full of packages by drones and save money. Just the time frame for the drones to deliver one package and return to the launch area (assume a warehouse) and then return to deliver to another house nearby is just not feasible. I can see it for emergencies of medication, or as you stated, first aid supplies, that could be down on a limited basis. Plus the team of people that would have to be hired just to maintain a fleet of drones, definitely outweighs the cost of the delivery drivers. I know something is coming, but I don't see wide usage for a long time to come. (my opinion) Thanks!
I agree 100%
With drone delivery I guess I wouldn't get many packages during the windy season, like to see drones fly in this wind. (with precision)
I live South Florida east coast, yes the number of different delivery trucks in our community on a daily basis is amazing, it will be amazing to see drones delivery here, not sure I am on board with this, HOWEVER it is coming apparently, weather will be a major factor, all across the country, BUT big company are doing away with check out counters, and going self service, so it time it will probably happen
OOP, OOV and VLOS are now out of the window, literally! 😆
Love your work. I don’t hold your optimism on this one. Until such time as the issue with energy density and batteries is sorted, drone delivery will not be an effective method of getting anything to anyone. Rural locations will require craft that have great range, currently that’s mainly done with fixed wing aircraft. For obvious reasons, fixed wing aircraft drones are not that useful at all in urban (heavily populated and heavily built-up) areas. We seem to forget that our current set of drones are actually very inefficient (when compared to fixed wing) - and thus the energy required to keep them aloft is high. Current battery technology just doesn’t make this viable at present. And we’ve been ‘on the verge’ of new battery breakthroughs for seemingly eons... and still we haven’t got there yet... I’m surprised you have this take Russ. I really don’t think drone delivery is a viable option at all. Cheers.
Very good point on the fixed wing comparison. I think the tech will merge eventually and provide more capable flight duration and range.
It is profitable to sell the idea of drone delivery right now. But only the drone companies supplying the drones and parts will be the ones making money.
I agree 100%
Leave the package on the roof please. lol
On the roof or through the roof?
😂😂😂😂
😂
For the first tens years or so Drone Delivery will only be available to less than 25% of the US. And where I live I don't think it will affect me much for a long time. Good video Russ, thanks for sharing.
I spoke to a close friend I used to fly with back in Westchester, NY and Danbury CT in the 1990’s. He was visiting the FAA at the Greater Chicago FSDO and visiting several Part 135 operators. He said the chatter around the water cooler is that the FAA is using RemoteID as a stepping stone for full implementation of ADS-B tracking hardware that we currently use for all aircraft operating within 30 NM of congested airspace like Class C airspace. The smallest of these units weighs in at multiple pounds and costs between $2500 and $4000 per unit per aircraft. Most consumer and professional consumer drones will not be able to fly at all with the extra weight and cost. Hobbyists are expected to disappear an small Part 107 operators will fold as well. The 23 largest companies looking for large scale drone operations (Apple, Intel, AMD, Amazon, FedEx, AT&T, etc..) to aid their delivery services and other undisclosed areas of UAS business ventures, and are already producing the technology and incorporating it into their prototypes. This will be the end of the hobby and a huge consolidation will happen to 90%+ of the current 107 operators. He said to expect a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to be issued on the subject by Q3 of 2026. Folks, this really coming and will necessary to handle the volume of drones these companies expect to be operating (6.6M) by 2030.
That RID module is the size of a small building! LOL...
So tiny toys are a mortal threat, but these massive drones carrying a payload, no problem. And they are not going to fly over people, right? 🙄
Right it don't make sense! Heck how many private airplanes crash each month?
And drone pilots are responsible for damage that they do. FAA 107, drones are not to drop. So when a delivery drone drops on my new steel roof denting it. Who pays for the damage?
We had some newspaper deliveries done to islands in Finland. Seemed to work quite well. I'm sure there will be good use cases for this.
This is more of a question. I used my drone from inside aircraft(fixed in 172 Cessna). Had trouble with gps and imu function. Turn unit on a 2000 ft, Do you have any suggestions? When I google drones in planes I only get TSA and carryon info.
Good video Russ, great information, could you consider a video on Remote id APPS, I fly mostly recreational, I have Part 107, but would like more information -how and who can track my drones during flight would be nice to know,
Russ, my Phantom 4P V2 has RID... After the firmware update and installing Drone Scanner on my phone I was able to capture RID INFO out to 600 feet at 100 feet AGL.
Drone Delivery is definitely here, with Walmart currently having sites in 6 states and the announcement at CES to cover 75% of the DFW area over the next year, the industry will definitely move forward. Companies like Wing, Zipline, DroneUp and Manna are pushing the FAA and regulations forward. This is forcing the regulators to streamline their processes for waivers, approvals and other tech related advancement. While some can say this may be harming the industry, I believe it's making it easier and setting a simpler standard for other 107 pilots.
In response to the overheard noise, companies like Wing and Zipline are always changing their flight corridors to keep what you suggested from happening. Changing routes (Air corridors) regularly keeps them from being a continuous nuisance overhead to the same households. The other thing to note, is they fly high enough and quick enough that you are more than likely to not even notice.
High enough? They must be no higher than 400 feet!
@@karthurjr Even at 300 feet while in route they are pretty quiet.
@@karthurjrkeep in mind that 400 ft is a Part 107 limitation. Drone delivery falls under Part 135.
Notice how drone laws have changed the feature film industry. You can't fly drones over people or streets. Now Netflix is full of new movies about people strangely going to the mountains, etc. (where drone flying / filming is permitted) to escape some crazy apocalypse. Have strict FAA Drone laws dumbed-down the film industry?
Hi Russ, what is the upgraded battery for the Mini drones? and is it only if you are using it commercially for the sub 250g drones that you need remote ID or for everyone? Thanks!
You only need RID if the aircraft is registered or required to be registered.
If you only fly recreationally and keep the drone under 250g, there is no need to register and therefore no need for RID.
The minute you insert the extended battery, you are over 250g and the Mini 3 or Mini 4 Pro will automatically engage RID. However, you need to ensure you register the aircraft on the FAA DroneZone if you are going to use that battery.
As Boston has some of the worst traffic, if not the worst, drone delivery will be a gift. Hey we lived through the "Big Dig". Question, does my DJI Mavic Air 2 require a RID module. The more I research the more confused I become, thanks.
Might check the entry at 1:58 where the Mini 4 Pro is listed as required for a broadcast module w/o upgraded battery. I believe the broadcast capability is built-in and is activated with the enhanced battery. Maybe what you're saying is that if you're flying Recreational/sub 250 AND need Remote ID. then you'll need a module. Sort of convoluted, isn't it? 😊
Thanks for all that you do.
That is correct, and yes it is a mess.
35 years a UPS driver, also fly Mini 2, and Mini 4 Pro. Biggest failure point I see in this idea is weather. Drones will have a difficult time when it's very windy, or stormy, be it snow or rain etc.
Exactly right...30 years here with Fedex as a courier...
Which is 60 percent of the time where I live. Public outrage will terminate this dumb idea!
How many packages does a delivery truck carry? Plus the size and weight of the package. I don't see this type of technology really be of good use unless they are carrying vidal organs to a hospital for a patient's need.
I do not think at all that drone deliveries will effect recreational or 107 operations if anything, for those that have their 107 license it will create more job creation.
I am waiting for my permanent drone license in the mail currently and it seems to be taking forever. I passed my 107 exam , went through the background check and printed up my certification all since February 26th 2024 and still waiting for it to be sent in the mail. Since then, I have received a few drone jobs offered to me however though I can work with my temporary certification, I rather wait until my license comes in and in the meantime practice of course. I just think the drone deliveries will expand job creation a bit for those mainly who do not understand that well how to market themselves.
I'm one ranch over from where Wing is testing their delivery drones in Hollister, California. While amusing to watch, this technology should be reserved for matters of life and death only. Routine deliveries nope. They've been at it for quite a while now and these things haven't gotten any quieter, only faster. Most of those 10 points are bogus IMHO.
Does the Mavic Air 2 require a module?
Drone delivery
It's here already in Dublin, Ireland ☘ - With a company called " Manna "
But is it making money?
I'm sure we will eventually see hiccups with missed marks of orders landing in trees 😮 or someone's pool. One thing we can't change is weather patterns if winds suddenly pick up🤦🏾♂️
While drones may mean a reduction in the number of delivery truck drivers, they will mean an increase in the number of people who attach packages to drones, who place them on their takeoff spots, and who oversee their flights. A single delivery truck might carry 100 packages, a single drone only one.
Another problem is that drones won't be able to place packages where customers prefer them to be left. At our home, we want packages placed at the front door but a bit off to the left, where they can't be seen from the street. No drone would be able to get within twenty feet of our front door; at best, it would have to leave its package in the middle of the driveway, in plain sight.
A third problem is battery life. My DJI Mini 4 Pro has a bit under 30 minutes of usable battery life. I presume a larger drone would have more, let's say double that. It would have to fly to the customer's home or business, release its package, and fly back to the warehouse within, say, an hour--at which point someone would have to switch out its batteries. And that presumes good weather and weak winds.
Flying cars have been promised since the 1950s, and they have existed for most of the time since then, but they have proved impractical as cars and as planes. I think delivery drones will suffer a similar fate. Even if the above problems can be resolved--and I don't suspect they can--the buzz of drones will produce a chorus of opposition to them. One delivery truck can deliver 100 packages in a neighborhood, but that neighborhood isn't going to put up with the noise of 100 drone daily flights.
Drone delivery isn't a bad thing. I work for FedEx and they're are a lot of deliveries I make to a lot of homebound individuals.
Glad I dont have any of those but the retired original Mavic Mini. The 3 I have are equipped. Air 2S, Mini 3 Pro, Mavic 3 Classic 😳
Drone delivery is another tool in the corporate machine to sell more more more. Likely it’ll remain a premium delivery option and one that’ll be super finicky unless given the same level of expense current delivery takes.
When the focus is just to sell Kelly a bag of skittles the “revolution” will still be shackled by profit margin and hundreds of a percent in income
This has been working in Rwanda. 8 years working Zipline Rwanda
Hey Russ, good video. I'm a little bit skeptical. I just don't see it being practical, especially in climates like ours in the winter. As far as jobs go, if it does take off, won't there be a lot of drone operator jobs, even if they are flown remotely from a regional warehouse?
Just wait until the first person is injury by a prop. The outcry will be tremendous! However, we are long way from routine deliveries using drones due to their limited range. They'll have to develop a drone that flies fixed to rotary wing to make it work. Time will tell. Speaking for myself, I don't want my deliveries in my front yard. All of us have enough problems with thievery on our front porches!
How can a drone delivering one or two packages at a time possibly economically replace a truck full of packages with highly accurate gps delivery software intelligently directing the driver with the best route to follow? I just don’t see it happening except for emergency deliveries of life saving medications and the like.
The GPS part is moot. Any efficiencies the truck has, the drone has much better (few traffic restrictions in most areas). The limitation is volume as you point out. I don't think the majority of goods will be shipped this way. I think it will be time-sensitive deliveries, either medical or things like meals or stuff you'd order for immediate delivery through Postmates or Door Dash.
Great video. Here are my thoughts. The downside will be that people will lose jobs. Good for companies but not the workers. Also, I see a lot of criminals already planning how they will enrich themselves. Think about it. No more having the drug selling gut standing in the street. Itt could be a direct sale without the chance of getting caught. If the police get to it. They just lose the stash and probably a cheap drone. No going to jail. I also see criminals hijacking a delivery. Think about it. You can have a pricey delivery. A thief knocks the drone out of the air with a cheap drone. The thief has your package plus a very expensive delivery drone, and all he lost was a cheap drone. Now my question is. How will the line of site rule work?
Drone deliveries has been talked about the last ten years and I think it’s still quite a ways away before it actually happens.
It's happening now LOL
As usual, overreaction in the comments. No one is saying these will replace all road-based deliveries. There are use cases. I suspect the most common will be time-sensitive deliveries like medical and things you might pay Postmates or DoorDash to deliver in short order.
The medical deliveries in Africa are amazing right now. I think the immediate growth will continue to be in the fixed-wing area. This video has encouraged me to start looking into the FAA Part 135 process.
I agree with most of the benefits it will be a huge negative on recreational and commercial drone operations. After the first couple of collisions between delivery drones and recreational/commercial drones who do you think will take the hit? My bet is the corporations with $$$ running the delivery drones while even more regs will be pushed on to the recreational and commercial operators.
If people are required to maintain vision line of sight of the drone at all times, how would drone delivery work if they cannot maintain visual line of sight to watch for planes, helicopters, and trees and power lines?
Many companies, such as Wing, has received BVLOS waivers. They will not be required to maintain vlos
@51Drones If a waiver would or could be granted for delivery, why do recreational flyers not have such a waiver? After all we MUST have VLOS. It just doesn't make sense, but with the FAA there isn't any sense. Our flying club has a field very close to a Class B airfield. We have been flying on our grass fieldfor 26 years with an agreement with the field personnel in charge WITHOUT INCIDENT, and yet the FAA keeps denying our FRIA. And yes, we are all AMA members!
Being snowed in at the moment, Air delivery would be nice. Allot of the newer models coming out are pretty quiet. Even with that being said the Karen's are bad enough now. So much doubt in this world. Thanks for the informative video.
Interesting times ahead for sure. I think the noise pollution issue will be worse for those who live close to business districts. With the shortage of workers in the restaurant industry will there really be a loss of jobs or will the jobs lost in delivery just shift to somewhere else where people are needed? I don't think we have the answer to that yet.
In general, I think it will not work in most areas. There are too many hazards. This fad will die out when people start getting injured by drones crashing or boxes falling on people and property. Also, this will be inefficient compared to having an automated ground vehicle deliver packages. The maintenance on aerial drones will be much larger compared to a ground vehicle.
Sound is becoming less of a problem with some of the newer propellers being developed.
I'm curious to see the legal arguments that come up when a drone crashes on someone's property. It's not a matter of if it will crash, but when it crashes.
I can see an aerial drone having an advantage like delivering emergency supplies, medical devices, or other urgent items. These will be the exception.
A new notification for drone delivery will be, 'Unable to deliver do to bird strike/attack.' Please allow for an additional 3 days for delivery.
Good one
😂😂😂
I don't see a drop in demand for delivery drivers. Still have to load a truck with packages and drive to delivery area. Make take just as long to deliver by drone than by truck. Gonna be a lot of packages delivered to the wrong place as well...
Thanks for the video…however, the pro drone delivery stance is a bit unrealistic from an operational standpoint. I think about how many packages are delivered to an average home on a weekly basis as a result of the switch caused by the pandemic. Not sure how many people are utilizing delivery retail like Amazon now, but I know the increase has been dramatic in the last 2 years. If this starts going forth it’s going to be a nightmare amount of drones in the air at any given time. Then there is the safety aspect…I have been a professional pilot for 35 years and the congestion (especially in airspace around airports) is, in my opinion, unsustainable. It’s going to get worse. So you carry this scenario over to the drone delivery world (much less airspace and many more machines operated with much less oversight) and I just don’t see how it is realistic? Anyway, I know this is glass 1/2 empty, but this is how I see it..
Drone delivery is coming but it’s just a publicity game for retailers that participate in the idea. As many have stated what about the weather conditions. There are places where it rains most of the time or high winds in certain areas I mean that’s not counting just the regular seasonal weather. Then you have the size limitations of the loads. I’m not sure how much the retailer is willing to pay upfront for a drone that can carry anything worth delivering. As for cost you know they’re going to charge a premium for “drone delivery” doesn’t matter how much they’re saving you won’t see the savings. Anybody remember how CDs were going to reduce the cost of video games because they were cheaper to make. Hmmm. Also who’s going to respond to all the calls of drone delivery down when criminals use whatever means available to take down drones and as we’ve seen there’s already a number of drone disabling devices out there. Drones should be used for emergency services like they’ve been doing so far in police, fire, search and rescue. Of course without DJI in use the services have greatly degraded but it’s for our own good according to lawmakers. Drone delivery is a nice idea but that’s all it is a nice idea in world that doesn’t exist.
The most drone deliveries should be used for is emergency items, like body parts etc to save lives! not for LAZY PEOPLE sat in their bed hitting the order button while online shopping and waiting for Amazon etc to deliver right to their front door! I will never give way to corporations that are solely out to make huge profits at our expense, I am in the UK and they are trialling them here too!
Why does the mini pro 3 drone need a module? With the extended battery it doesn't need it?
With the regular battery, it would need one for commercial applications.
They say the jan firmware update made that unnecessary, id works with either battery.
@@51DronesThat only applies to the Mini 3 or the MIni 4 Pro. DJI says the Mini 3 Pro is not impacted.
A few exceptions aside (~1 percent?), the practicality of B2B & B2C drone delivery fails on so many different levels. And the argument of zero missions is absurd Russ! (Battery power is coming from somewhere, drone manufacturing is not "green" & battery disposal waste is largely ignored.) The rugged & hard working UPS drivers have nothing to fear in terms of job security. (All it takes is one peak in the back of a UPS truck to realize how impractical & expensive drone delivery would be.)😉
I think that sooner or later there will be conflict between hobby drones and commercial drones, meaning the commercial delivery drone companies have the legal and economic advantage as they will pay individuates in the US congress and the hobby drones can be swept from the skies, and not even the FAA shakedown and the test will not be enough to override the act of congress against hobby drones, giving various reasons why, of which none will be the real reason behind it all!
Everyone in the US knows that commercialism and profit makers have priority in the US capitalist government over the benefit of the people! If there is a conflict between hobby drones and commercial delivery, hobby drones will loose, that is after spending millions fighting the no hobby drone policy, for national security or what ever the lobbyist can make up!
Which drone has 4 hours of battery life to fly
Pretty much sounds like science fiction to me and it's not realistic for the near future because of all the restriction and hurdles that comes with drone. Guess they will rather ban them off the market.
Great video Russ, but I worry about all the AI technology taking jobs, what are people gonna do to make money to live? If things go too far, no one will be able to afford to buy anything to have delivered. Then what? No jobs = no money.
I think things are going to continue to advance, as they are, BUT, is going to create a whole new bigger problem down the road.
Drone delivery? Amazon can’t even deliver within 2 days as promised in my area and the drones wouldn’t even be able to distinguish an address here thanks to 911 and USPS who keep changing addresses
And apartments or condos. How will that work?
I think that’s a long way off. Most deliveries will occur to commercial locations to start.
I dont believe drones will totally replace delivery drivers and vans. Millions of packages will still get delivered the traditional method due to weight limits. I'm really not a fan of drone delivery due to safety and security issues. After all, drones are technology and I'm still to see any technology that is 100% fail safe. As for jobs, new jobs will be created to replace jobs that become redundant i.e maintenance, operation and logistical crews of these uavs. There will most definitely be different types of new jobs types that will spawn from the services. In the 70s people feared the computer will replace people, but look how many new and different jobs spawned from the advancement of computing.
It’s going to hurt the people doing it for a living and as a hobby. Who’s going to be flying said delivery drones? Computers or people. That’s gonna be a lot of people needing to get part 107 if people will be flying then or monitoring the computer flying the drone. Bad idea all the way around.
when is a drone delivering my new fridge
I fear it will become a nightmare with thousands of drones flying around and there will little chance for recreational flyers to enjoy the sky
I really doubt you will see it within the next few years Or 10 to 15 years, If you consider the current aviation industry under the control of the FAA With the responsibility of keeping watch over at any time 50,000 commercial and private Aircraft in the air at any Given day, I really feel this is a hopeful dream, maybe for the future but for now it's a nonstarter, the same way as private flying cars it's just a dream.
The first time a drone mixes it up with a 300 plus passenger commercial aircraft or strays into a Bravo Restricted airspace Under ATC control, I don't think there is a company willing to risk liability in case of a catastrophic event
The Current FAA and ATC system in this country is the best in the world, And overwhelmed at times And you're asking ATC to take responsibility of how many drones in the air at the same? Transponder equipped or not, Its impossible
To try to save a few bucks on a delivery is absurd
We can stash this in the back of our minds, the same way we can with flying cars people have been talking about for the last 30 years
Its not feasible, safe, or technologically Capable at this time
USPS delivers anywhere within three days Just remember if it fits the ships regardless of weight and prepaid boxes anywhere from 11 to $15! You think you can match that price flying a drone, Not hardly!
Not gonna happen, at least for our common deliveries, especially in remote areas. Knowing nothing of the current progress and breakthroughs and relying only on my personal opinion, it seems that there must be a distance restriction, especially when limited to a single delivery per flight. Maybe 5-10 miles? If that is anywhere near reality, then there would have to be a delivery hub every 10-20 miles managing the logistics of deliveries.
My UPS driver (bless his UPS heart) has a truckload of items every day, a good portion of which are too heavy for drone payload capabilities, and delivers his first truckload in about half of a day. He then meets up with a truck/trailer for his second load (the delivery area is about 40 miles from the UPS facilities), taking the rest of the day. And he is only one of the many drivers assigned to this area. I fail to see how using a drone methodology delivering that volume, while still having to make the larger deliveries in person, could be equal or less manpower than the one driver doing it now in his truck.
This argument doesn't even include the many other difficulties of unmanned deliveries of online purchases including safety, liability, loss of equipment, battery charging, lack of qualified pilots, lawsuits, and I'm sure much more than I can imagine.
I do realize the benefit of delivering urgent items to isolated targets (rescue efforts), inter-facility medical deliveries (like blood, medicine, etc), critical infrastructure parts to reduce downtime of of communiction service, etc. But getting my toilet paper delivered by a drone? Hard to imagine.
It seems tht you are just stirring the pot with this, hoping to get a lot of responses.
Are you seeing these delivery drones being autonomous, or will this open a new job market for drone pilots?
More and more drones as you say is a certain ..But Its also going to make Helicopters much more hazards to operate in Cities...also go out and buy that drone delivery stock now. Fly Safe!
Good point!
This is another motive of a comment I made on your other peeping tom video. People need to start realizing that there will be bad actors doing irresponsible things with drones to destroy the hobby on purpose to make way for billion dollar industries. As I said, camera drones put a lot of film crews & helicopter pilots out of business same goes with crop duster drones.
I'm sure there will be a size weight restriction on drone drops that will keep delivery trucks necessary.
Where the heck are my tubesocks?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤪
I got the same coffee mug... almost. Mine has big foot on it 😁
I looked at that one!!!
We’re never going to see drone deliveries everywhere in anywhere not gonna happen way too much logistically that isn’t going to allow for this
A simple man’s opinion….. 🤷 “just leave Us alone and we’ll …..”🤷
Remote ID is just government overreach to push out the hobbyist. It's all about the money, as the old saying goes, Money talks and BS walks. Companies wanting to control airspace brought this about by paying off people that could make this happen. The average person mean nothing nowadays. Thanks, I really do enjoy your informative videos. Now I'm off to ready my drones for sale.
I don’t understand why it will be ok to fly a drone with a 50 plus lLb 0:40 0:40 package over our head and we have to get a permit to fly a model air…..
Sorry I have been flying rc since I was 10years old and now I am just shy of 70 so it looks like I will be hang up my long loved hobby…..

How’s Your wife doing ?
She is tolerating treatment quite well. We see light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks for asking!@@kenturpin584
Not where I live! EVER!
I'm using drone my drone in delivery my food in customer.
A sky full of delivery drones means the end of the hobby. You give us corporate pro delivery drones talking points. Whose side are you on ?
I don’t believe that for a second. It’s a big sky.
@@51Drones It's a big country, and look at the "choices" we have for president 🙄
We're never gonna see a sky full of drones...Can you imagine the amount of noise complaints...We here in Denver metro are having tons of people complaining about aircraft noise at the various airports around...Can't imagine the complaints of drones

I can't wait to order a Billiard table off from Amazon using this delivery system.
😂
This is dumb af.
Theives will use a drone jammer. They are super simple to make and buy. It makes the drone "crash" land, and the package is theirs
I don't like the idea. Thieves see it coming - Thieves commit theft. Crowds airspace and possibly harms wildlife. I can see a delivery drone now being downed by a bird and falling onto a pedestrian.
if this succeed, unemployment rate will go up.
Sponsored by a company making remote id modules? You are really helping the dark side! Shame on you!
lol. I didn’t realize remote is modules were evil.
Its a pipe dream to eliminate humans for the sake of investors. Didn't work 50 years ago we can all ways dream
Block it.. it will destroy our sky line beauty
I don’t know, Russ. I really like you and your channel but listening to you go over the “benefits” of drone delivery, sounds too much like you are reading off of some MSM talking points designed by the big players in the industry to make it all seem like sunshine and rainbows. You know, the “we’re doing this because it’s better for you”…
I think it’s going to turn into a giant sh*t show in the sky. Just look at all those stupid little delivery robots being robbed and vandalized. As pilots, we already know that many people don’t like drones as it is. Personally, I hope it becomes a very bumpy and very expensive ride for these companies. I’ll be looking forward to future videos such as, “Top 10 takedowns of amazon or walmart delivery drones”, and “why the drone delivery industry was destined to fail”…
IT WONT be beneficial!
More job loss
My Air 3 is being delivered today, will it have remote id built in? 🤔
Yes
You can look up on Dj‘s website all the models that have remote ID built-in my Air2S has it
Yes
