Wal-Mart seems to be moving ahead in a copycat fashion, as it is looking forward to start a drone delivery service. Taking the idea from Amazon, it is applying for the drone-deploying blimp patent.You would remember that about a year ago, Amazon filed for a flying patent to start its own flying warehouse. The aim behind it was to deliver products more quickly using the drone delivery service. But now Wal-Mart seems to be copying their idea to begin its own drone delivery service.

The Walmart Blimp Warehouse:

The Walmart blimp would fly about 500 to 1000 feet in the air. The blimp warehouse will be comprised of different launching bays and will have different human and autonomous controlled drones which could fly out to make deliveries. The moveable warehouse blimp could be a cost cutting idea for Walmart. The deliveries would be made in a very quick succession of time. Whereas, there would be no need to engage delivery guys for deliveries anymore. All that would be required is, hire the individuals who could control the human controlled drones manually. That’s how, the products will be delivered to the required destination on time using the sky. It will save them from any delays that use to occur because of the heavy traffic on roads.
