Zipline

Zipline offers a fully autonomous, zero-emission drone delivery service designed to transport everything from medical supplies to fresh food and everyday essentials. The company’s battery-powered drones, known as Zips, can travel up to 70 mph, covering a 60-mile range with precision. Unlike conventional drones, Zips fly at high altitudes and use a quiet propeller design, making them nearly inaudible. When delivering, a fully autonomous droid descends on a tether to gently place packages in precise locations—whether it’s a hospital’s cold-chain storage or a customer’s patio table. This seamless, end-to-end system integrates with businesses’ existing operations, allowing them to offer fast, reliable, and environmentally friendly delivery services.

Rather than selling its drones, Zipline operates on a service-based pricing model, charging businesses and organizations per delivery. The cost of a delivery varies depending on the location, volume, and type of goods transported. This model allows businesses, healthcare providers, and governments to access cutting-edge logistics without investing in drone infrastructure themselves. By maintaining control over its fleet, Zipline ensures consistent reliability, efficiency, and safety, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional delivery methods that rely on gas-powered vehicles.
