The Amazon team has been hard at work figuring out how we get items to customers quickly, cost-effectively, and—most importantly—safely in less than an hour.  Working for almost a decade to make it a reality, the promise of drone delivery has often felt like science fiction.  The new drones can deliver packages under 5 pounds to customers in less than an hour, from click to delivery. Earlier this year, Amazon announced that customers who live in Lockeford, California, and College Station, Texas, will be among the first to receive Prime Air deliveries later this year.

Amazon’s next generation delivery drone: the MK30 is due to come into service in 2024, this drone will be lighter and smaller than the MK27-2, the drone that will be making deliveries in Lockeford and College Station. The MK30’s increased range, expanded temperature tolerance, safety-critical features, and new capability to fly in light rain will enable customers to choose drone delivery more often.

Reducing the noise signature of drones is an important engineering challenge that the Amazon team is working on the Prime Air’s Flight Science team has created new custom-designed propellers that will reduce the MK30’s perceived noise by another 25%.
