💨 Abstract

Drone deliveries in the U.S. are poised for expansion due to proposed FAA rules easing restrictions on beyond-line-of-sight flights. Companies like Walmart and Amazon are already providing services, with plans to add more locations. Currently, deliveries are limited to light items up to 4 pounds, with concerns about cost, weather impacts, and safety. Drones offer benefits like reduced emissions and better access to rural areas, but challenges remain.
