# Contactless Drone Deliveries Flirtey's Safe Delivery System Picks Up and Releases Parcels By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-05-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safe-delivery-system References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/flirteys-new-granted-patent-is-instrumental-for-drone-delivery-301063504.html) & [flirtey](http://flirtey.com) Delivery drones have been used for years to safely drop essential items where they're needed most but the safe delivery system is taking on new relevance in a post-pandemic world. While [delivery by drone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doordash-and-wing) has been adopted in some sectors for agriculture and commercial work, there have been barriers for commercial drone delivery—but Flirtey, a pioneer within the commercial drone delivery space, was recently granted an important patent related to safe deliveries by drone. The patent describes a combination of hardware and software to support [secure lifting and lowering of packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doorbox-smart-delivery-box). Since Flirtey invented this method of delivery, it is said to be "the safest and most precise, and it has since become the standard for the [drone delivery industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-drone-network)." As many businesses are now reliant on contactless delivery systems, drone delivery has the potential to become much more common.
