The book seler "Sweeney explains that the civil aviation authority in Australia was one of the first in the world to legalise commercial flights by unmanned aerial vehicles"


CASA requirements for operation of  a RPA (remotely operated aircraft)

(a)       at less than 400 feet AGL; and

(b)      in visual line of sight; and

(c)   outside controlled airspace; and

(d)   more than 3 nautical miles from an aerodrome or aircraft landing area; and

(e)   not over a populous area; and

(f)    not within 30 metres of a person, other than the operator’s personnel.

If you can see the customer the other side of a paddock why not  just hand over the book,  OK,  drop it 30 metres away then?
 
Interesting point to consider that  Sweeney is from: "Sydney startup Flirtey". Good publicity perhaps?

How's about a Burrito? http://www.darwinaerospace.com/burritobomber

ref. supanova:

I can see lot of problems for it to work; to start with my garden has lots of trees and there are large old trees in our street; on google maps all you can see is bit of the roof and then tops of trees.  But my dogs would just love if one of theses drones landed in our garden.  They have been stalking the police helicopter for a while now; if one of these landed in our garden it would be killed in no time.   Not sure how safe it would be to catch it going but if the blades would be dangerous to a dog, they would also be dangerous to a child.

With my luck, the mongrel dog 'd get the burrito first thereby leaving me hungry and thirsy.

Cheers,

I guess the above would make one a repeat criminal offender !

"Any person who steals anything capable of being stolen is guilty of a crime......."

"Generally the penalties imposed by a court for a first offence are less than for repeat offenders."
