Drone delivery imposes specific constraints on packaging that road delivery does not: weight limits, dimensional limits, acceleration and vibration profiles, and in drop delivery systems, impact tolerance. Here is how those constraints shape what can be delivered and how it must be packaged.

AirMap was founded in 2014 and has been involved in UTM development since before the term was widely used. As one of the original LAANC-approved service suppliers in the United States, the company has been central to the development of the airspace management infrastructure that commercial drone delivery depends on.

Hundreds of drone flights can share the same airspace with manned aviation, birds, and each other — safely. The system that makes this possible is UTM: Unmanned Traffic Management. Here is how it works, in plain language.
