Loveland company tests drone delivery

Drone delivery may be closer to reality than you think! And not only in England, where Amazon is testing it. A local company is testing it in the Tri-State right now. The future of home delivery may look like a regular white box truck. “People should not be afraid of drone delivery. It is very safe,” said Jeffrey Bennett, Workhorse Aerospace Project Manager. At least that is what Workhorse is setting out to prove. Its vision of drone delivery is a little different. The idea is that the drone is an assistant to the truck driver. We flew Sky9 along with a test flight Thursday. Workhorse calls this drone Horsefly. Once loaded, it launches from a delivery truck and soars to its destination autonomously. It can lower a package from 15 feet at a location you set.
