A drone takes off from an airfield on the south coast of the UK. He needs to travel 12 kilometers to the Isle of Wight and deliver medicine to a local hospital.. It took only ten minutes to fly.

Such drones plan to use for deliveries to hard-to-reach medical facilities. This project is designed for lengthy tests, but because of a pandemic they want to complete it faster..

The drone was watched by experts. They only had to intervene during the landing.

Usually medicines are delivered by ferry, but it takes about an hour to reach the island.. Sometimes they are sent by plane, but it's expensive. In addition, now, due to quarantine, vehicles go and fly less often.

Windracers ULTRA drone is different from amateur drones. It is equipped with two internal combustion engines, can fly up to 1000 kilometers and perform ten flights a day. The device carries up to 100 kilograms of cargo.
