Aran Islands Drone Delivery Completed in Record Speed

By D. Albert · On September 12, 2019

Drones provide a new perspective to the world around us. They are cameras yes – but their ability to fly and quickly change direction can create countless new vantage points for their operators. In the Aran Islands, drones are something more.

Delivering Supplies

An even more important capability of drones however is package delivery. Using its speedy flight pattern as well as its ability to dodge obstacles mid-air, it is a great asset to have when delivering goods.

Important packages, such as medical supplies, arrive at their destinations at a fraction of the time. This innovation can help save lives by providing assistance at a faster pace.

Ireland Drone Deliveries

Countries worldwide now use drones – and as their reach extend further, so does the range of their services. Right now, in Ireland, drones can traverse deep into island destinations for their deliveries.

No longer are drones limited to a few short distances within the city limits. Now, they can start traveling in the mainland, up to hospitals and clinics at island locations – all in one single flight. Because of longer battery life for drones, the idea of one traveling to farther locations is now possible.

Aran Run

In Aran Islands for instance, a drone successfully delivered medical supplies originating from Galan, Ireland. That covers a good 44 kilometers (18 kilometers of which is water) – a record figure considering they only used your regular drone to make the delivery.

The test will be the first of many expected drone deliveries to come in the country. They delivered Diabetes medication (insulin) – portable and light, however, it can be the difference between a patient’s well-being in emergencies. The trip only lasted 15 minutes – an amazing number.

The Importance of Drones

In fact, plenty of hospitals worldwide now use drones to send medical supplies to their rural counterparts. With obstacles such as unpredictable traffic, roadblocks, and natural elements, it can be difficult for delivery couriers to reach their rural destinations on time. A lot of these cases often require days, if not weeks or even months to receive their medical needs.
