Amazingly Successful DRONE DELIVERY System
I have always been skeptical of deliveries by drones. I’m an engineer and know the many problems with such systems. But two recent ones have shown how they can be successful. One is domestic, one foreign – in Africa! This moderately lengthy YouTube video shows how, and in a very entertaining way at that.

Drone Drop
A Ukrainian drone delivered some sugar to Ukrainian soldiers holding a frontline position.
Sweetened tea is consumed in huge quantities, especially when temperatures are far below zero.

It's A Bird...It's A Plane
It’s great to be a visionary, an innovator who pushes the needle to levels no one thought possible. Some may scoff and laugh, but once the concept takes off, support tends to come in large amounts.
It’s just that sometimes the visionary is not the implementer. While you’re busy innovating and envisioning, others may very well be watching, waiting in the wings to deploy your concept before you can.
And that is the case with drone delivery, a concept famously made public by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in a 60 Minutes interview in late 2013. The reaction was noted across the board, from supporters to tech critics to naysayers making fun. As of May 2023, Amazon had made only 100 drone deliveries.
But Walmart has been working overtime on drone delivery, having tested it in select locales across the US. Last fall it launched a larger pilot program in north Dallas suburbs, allowing for deliveries within a six-mile radius of two stores that acted as hubs. GPS coordinates allow Walmart to dial in a precise location, like the middle of your front yard.
And now it is pushing that program out to include 75% of the entire DFW Metroplex. The expansion adds 1.8 million more households to the delivery footprint. With nearly eight million people living in the Metroplex, this means that about six million will be able to enjoy the latest mode of delivery.I wonder how that is going over with Mr. Bezos and the Amazon folks.

Of course, drone delivery necessitates professional land-based technicians and a slew of FAA hurdles to pass. I can only imagine how crowded the air space—albeit not very high—is going to be. And never mind that they will have to be extremely careful to avoid flight paths at DFW Airport, Love Field, and every other airport in the Metroplex.
The goal of drone delivery is not to put delivery van drivers out of work. No, it is to get the goods to customers as fast as possible. And that enormous fleet of dark grey vans owned by Amazon also gets stuck in Dallas traffic like everyone else. The same goes for anyone else doing terrestrial delivery. Flight also means as-the-crow-flies mileage, not city streets that are typically laid out on a grid.
When you can fly over those vans stuck in gridlock, it’s not a whole lot different from being willing to pay about $1 a mile at peak times to drive in the express lanes. Waving as you go by, of course.
There are societal benefits to the drones, because, while they necessarily need to have their batteries recharged—and we don’t know yet whether this will involve renewables or not—they won’t be burning gasoline and contributing to air pollution. They also will help alleviate some traffic, both for consumers who not need to venture to the store, or delivery vans.
Of course, there’s always room for mistakes and mishaps, like porch pirates stealing the delivery from your front lawn, or an unleashed dog taking a liking to your package. And there are weight considerations. Don’t expect to have a 46-pound bag of dog food delivered by drone, or a case of beer. Drone delivery is limited to lightweight items.
But think about the other benefits. You’re having guests over for a special dinner, and halfway through meal prep you realize you forgot a few things at the grocery. You can order and keep working, knowing that those missing items will arrive shortly.
Walmart has conducted more than 20,000 drone deliveries thus far, and now that they have it dialed in, they are ready to deploy it on a large scale. The DFW Metroplex is the fourth-largest metro in the US, evidence that Walmart’s drone delivery is ready for prime time.
Prime. Now there’s a word that Amazon knows well. It’s going to have to up its game if it wants to maintain ownership of that one.

In the movie franchise Shrek, Fiona’s parents leave their only daughter in a castle surrounded by lava and a dragon. This is purely because of a curse placed upon her at night.
However they could have also just kept her in the castle at night and make Fiona return home before sunset. Furthermore, they could let Fiona kiss boyfriends and princes that she is in love with, thus potentially breaking the curse.
The only logical explanation that they did not do anything like these is because Fiona’s parents were assholes who did not want to deal with a child. In this essay I will…
