Amazon unveils next-gen drone

Retail behemoth Amazon have announced plans for its next generation delivery drone: the MK30

The Prime Air drone will be lighter and smaller than the previous MK27-2 and has increased range, expanded temperature tolerance, safety-critical features, and the new capability to fly in light rain.

Prime Air’s Flight Science team has also created new custom-designed propellers that will reduce the MK30’s perceived noise by another 25%.
