Last-mile delivery moves an order from a local facility to the customer. Drones can serve urgent, lightweight orders without road congestion, but payload, range, weather, airspace and landing constraints limit where they are practical. The model below compares those operating limits and shows when a drone complements a conventional delivery fleet.
Drones trade tiny payloads for fast, congestion-free delivery on the last mile.
Range, payload and airspace limits shape which orders are drone-eligible; the rest go by van.
Reserve drones for urgent, light, close orders - hybrid fleets beat pure ones.
