Aerialoop is a delivery company taking delivery to the next level by using drones to drastically reduce delivery times across the city. Within the city of Quito, it takes roughly 45 minutes to drive from one side to the other, but just 7 minutes to fly over a 5x reduction in delivery time.
During the pandemic, Aerialoop has also been delivering groceries to local restaurants and COVID-19 medical supplies from the local hospital, HospitalDLV, to rural patients.
Challenges with drone delivery services
Although drone delivery is significantly faster than existing services, it does come with some novel challenges. One such challenge is to ensure the drones navigate the city autonomously without malfunctioning. Drones can fail for a wide range of reasons, such as adverse weather conditions, user errors and mechanical parts failing due to general wear and tear.
