Amazon Prime Air is about to get a lot more efficient, thanks to the next-generation MK30 delivery drone. This followup to the MK27-2 is smaller, lighter, and scheduled to go into service starting in 2024, making deliveries in both Lockeford (California) as well as College Station (Texas).
The MK30 boasts increased range, expanded temperature tolerance, safety-critical features, and the ability to fly in light rain, which means customers will be able to choose drone delivery more often. Since they fly hundreds of feet in the air, Amazon Prime Air drones are generally quieter than the sounds in a typical neighborhood, but new custom-designed propellers reduces that noise further by 25%.

When we first started Amazon Prime’s Two-Day Delivery program 17 years ago, it was considered revolutionary. Getting packages to people where they wanted them—in a matter of days—was exciting and new. Since then, we’ve developed new technologies and made investments in our logistics network that have helped us get packages to customers in two days, one day, and even on the same day,” said the company.
