Two large pizzas were flown four miles in ten minutes
Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a drone! And it's carrying pizza!
U.S. pizza chain Domino's (DPZ) recently began testing a pizza delivery drone prototype in the United Kingdom. The specially-built octacopter flew two large pepperoni pizzas in a ten minute flight over the English city of Guilford, NBC News notes.
The test was performed and committed to video by T + Biscuits, a marketing firm working with Domino's. The drone flew about four miles, remotely controlled by a trained pilot. The pizzas were delivered to their destination safely.
While the test was successful — flying drones don't have to stop for red lights or get stuck in traffic — the custom-made drone has a weight limit that would preclude carrying more than the two pizzas.
