The RDS1 system lowers the delivery to the ground by tether \u2013 which means that homeowners don\u2019t have to worry about a noisy landing or the potential for a landing drone to hit obstacles on its way down. \u201cThe RDS1 was chosen for its rapid delivery capabilities which reduced time-on-station to just 30 seconds per delivery, while minimizing intrusive rotor noise and limiting the window for risk to people on the ground,\u201d says an A2Z press release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor our partners at DroneUp to put their trust in our system was the best proof of concept that we could imagine and was a memorable benchmark for our whole team,\u201d said Aaron Zhang, founder of A2Z Drone Delivery, LLC. \u201cThe unique capabilities of the RDS1 were tailor-made for this type of residential delivery where our tethered freefall mechanism can accurately and quickly deposit payloads while hovering far from people, homes, trees and utility wires.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We wrote about DroneUp\u2019s drone delivery of Coke with Coffee to residents in Coffee, GA \u2013 but how exactly did that delivery work?
