Amazon patent shows flying warehouse plan for drone delivery
New patent filings by Amazon show how the e-commerce major could make doorstep drone deliveries through airborne fulfillment centers (AFCs) or warehouses. The airborne warehouses would be stocked with inventory and positioned near a location where Amazon predicts demand for certain items will spike. Drones could also be stocked at the AFCs and sent down to make on-demand deliveries.\n\n
