Many drone delivery systems are still in their infancy but Drone Delivery Canada is innovating the industry by offering a full-fledged platform that includes specially made flying machines and air traffic control systems. Founded with the intention to "implement a commercially viable drone delivery system," Drone Delivery Canada utilizes a patent-pending drone design that takes advantage of graphene and carbon fiber.
Stepping beyond just concepts, Drone Delivery Canada recently signed a deal with a remote First Nation island community to begin drone deliveries in the spring of 2019. The service will be used to deliver medical supplies, food and mail to the community in a way that would normally be too difficult for traditional delivery methods. The autonomous systems are currently equipped to handle up to five kilograms.
