I feel like the Jetson’s would likely be disappointed in the technology we currently use in 2024. However, George, Jane, Judy, and Elroy would probably approve of this…

According to DroneVideos.com, Denver will soon be another city that is offering drone delivery. Drone Express has moved its headquarters from Dayton, Ohio to Denver, Colorado. Drone Express has already partnered with grocery company, Kroger (King Soopers), for deliveries in the Dayton, Ohio area and Papa John’s Pizza in Atlanta, Georgia.

The drones from Drone Express have six propellers with a wingspan of three feet across and a travel distance of five miles on a single charge. They can carry and transport 10 pounds per trip. They are also weather-resistant and can fly in winds of up to 69 miles per hour.

Drone Express has already started trial runs in the Denver Metro area and once the testing phase is completed, deliveries to customers should start in early summer.
