UK development firm 'Cambridge Consultants' came up with 'DelivAir'- a drone delivery system that brings your order right into your own two hands. Here's how it works: the drone uses GPS to find its way to your smartphone. How does the delivery actually get into your hands? Cambridge says to aim your phone's LED light up, and it'll blink a coded pattern telling the drone that it has the right person. The package is then winched down to you.

Drone start-up Volans-i is building UAVs that can deliver heavy payloads over long distances. They're capable of flying over 500 miles, 12 hours+, and carry up to a 200lbs. By combining several forms of flying they are able to achieve this. The drones are fixed wing for long range flight, but use traditional quadcopter motors and props to assist with vertical take-off and landing. Combining drones with the component of B2B deliveries is what inspired the Volans-I drone.

Companies like CyPhy, BFD Systems and others were just a few companies at the 2018 AUVSI Xponential conference to showcase their tethered drone systems. One of the biggest advantages to a tethered system is longer flight times. In some cases, they can stay in the air for days on end. While it’s true that the flight capabilities of a tethered drone are limited, the tethered systems still make a lot of sense for many uses.
