One of the worries about using unmanned aircraft (drones) for delivery is the problems that can be encountered during the delivery process. Certainly no one wants the package (or cargo drone) to fall from the sky and be damaged.

Amazon thinks this is not a bad situation if the drone can 'fall safely'. Recently, they have received a patent for the drone, which can leave itself into pieces in the middle of the sky if there is an emergency.

Accordingly, there will be a control device located on the drone which is responsible for controlling self-destruct if it encounters an error, such as battery explosion. The computer will determine the flight path for the drone, the weather conditions and the nearby terrain before starting the self-disassembling drone in mid-air.

This seems to go against the safety regulations but if any drone falls apart, it will most likely land in the form of many small pieces. The illustration in the patent shows that the drone breaks into pieces and falls to the ground and a small lake before the rest falls on the tree.

In the past, Amazon also registered many patents such as honeycomb pictures to go to big cities or kites mounted in parcels to inflate when needed . It is unclear what purpose Amazon will use this technology for, moreover The invention must also meet the requirements before being put into use.
