I didn't say I think its a good idea. Quite the opposite. The weather angle alone makes the whole thing suspect. I think we need something more along the lines of a JDAM.

I have been involved in three separate "studies" of the issue and we never found the business case, cost or efficiency, for drone delivery. It takes a big VTOL UAS to deliver a 5lb package with a 35 to 40 minute endurance.

The only business case that made sense to us was using larger drones to fly cargo to under used airports, and there are a lot of them, to get packages close without large trucks over the road. Airport to airport is very efficient and predictable.

Great idea, needs a lot of innovation to make work in a safe, sustainable manner.
