Amazon Drones Fly Over Chicago Suburbs. The FAA Still Shows a Draft
Amazon says 21 MK30 drones are flying from Markham, Illinois. The FAA's Chicago file, updated October 14, still ends at a July draft with no decision. Amazon's MK30 delivery drones are flying over the south suburbs of Chicago from its fulfillment center in Markham, Illinois. The company claims to have deployed approximately 21 drones, each carrying up to five pounds (2.3 kilograms) as far as eight miles (13 kilometers). The FAA's environmental review index for drone delivery still lists the Chicago file as a draft with a comment period closed August 14 and no decision posted. The drones are the same 78-pound aircraft that hit a construction crane twice in Tolleson, Arizona a year ago. Amazon claims a delivery will cost less than $5.99 for Prime members and an internal Amazon projection predicts a cost of about $63 a package by 2025. The FAA’s Public Chicago File ends at a July draft with no decision.
