Retail giant Amazon has successfully completed the world’s first delivery by drone.
The driverless plane delivered the order in less than 30 minutes in Cambridgeshire.
The billionaire founder of Amazon announced on Twitter that: “First-ever #AmazonPrimeAir customer delivery is in the books.”
Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon in 1994, claimed that it took just 13 minutes from click to direct delivery.
The new service is known as Amazon Prime Air and promises to get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less using drones. In a glossy video the US tech company showed a Cambridgeshire man, identified only as Richard B, ordering an Amazon Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD and a bag of popcorn.
