Amazon is currently developing its new generation of its air delivery using drones. The major drawbacks of drone is its limited operating time and landing accuracy which render it difficult for use in urban build up area. In fact, the margin of error for autonomous landing using GPS is more than 1 meter. This positioning accuracy is further aggravated by adverse weather conditions.
