Amazon has long speculated on how to effectively organize the delivery of goods using drones. The fact that constantly put the drones at the door of the customer not very effective and quite impractical, so the company's specialists are constantly looking for options for a rapid and safe discharge of parcels to be delivered using drones. One of the last patents was Amazon — a label that doubles as a parachute.
In the accompanying documents of the patent has a detailed description of the invention: on top of the package is glued with a special label, which can at the same time and write all the accompanying information, and also pasted barcodes and QR tags. But when you reset the parcel from the drone sticker reveals, turning into a parachute, which, together with sensors that are hidden inside the label, and will provide a soft and safe landing weight.
The Parachute cords and the parachute will be under the top layer of the sticker, so the main thing — right to wrap and glue at the manufacturing stage. For landing heavy loads you can use several of these parachutes, and to soften the landing is assumed with the help of special dampers located inside the box.
To Use parachutes in cargo delivery drones Amazon has decided even in the winter, but then were only developed the concept, drawings and schematic drawings describing the principle of operation of the parachutes themselves, arrived recently.
