1st drone delivery beyond line of sight made in Raleigh at WakeMed, UPS reports - CBS 17

The first drone delivery flight by any company beyond a visual line of sight has been launched in Raleigh by a UPS subsidiary, the parent company announced Tuesday.

UPS won government approval Friday to operate a nationwide fleet of drones, which will let the company expand deliveries on hospital campuses and move it one step closer to making deliveries to consumers.

Immediately after that, UPS Flight Forward Inc. used a Matternet M2 quadcopter on the Raleigh WakeMed campus for a commercial delivery — a historic first event.

I can’t wait to bid on a drone route.
