The Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area is expected to start seeing new delivery drones flying

The Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area is expected to start seeing new delivery drones flying through the air, dropping off packages in backyards.

California based ‘Zipline’ company is expanding operations in Texas.

“Over the next few weeks, residents on the north side may occasionally see our aircraft flying over that private land about 300 feet in the air,” said head of community engagement at Zipline, Conner Wilkinson.

The “calibration” flights will pave the way to bringing the drone deliveries to the Kaufman and Dallas-Fort Worth areas, reported the Kaufman Herald.

Zipline partners with many companies but is only working with Walmart at this time in the Kaufman area.

“Orders are loaded in seconds and then the Zip undocks and raises up to about 300 feet in the air and then flies to its destination,” Wilkinson said.

Zipline has multiple drones, including the one you see below which drops off packages by parachute.
