Manufacturing and Testing for Safety
The video highlights Zipline’s rigorous manufacturing process, ensuring each drone is built for safety and performance. Behind-the-scenes footage shows extensive reliability tests that each drone must pass before it’s ready for delivery. These checks ensure the P2 system performs smoothly in real-world conditions.
Test Deliveries in Action
Viewers also get a glimpse of test deliveries, showing how Zipline’s drones fly over 300 feet above ground, nearly silently. When the drone arrives, a delivery droid lowers the package on a tether, ensuring safe and accurate drop-offs.
