Against the record
Zipline, from Zipline, is at stage 5 of 5 on our ladder: regulator-cleared or mass market. Cleared where approval applies, or widely sold. The latest milestone on its record is from 28 Oct 2026: Zipline said new flight software that adjusts speed and altitude to reduce noise was running across its whole fleet, cutting sound exposure per flight by 68% versus its 2025 fleet.

From the video's description
Here's a look at how our delivery system works today in Texas. First a customer places an order. When the order is fulfilled, the order is loaded for pick up and the drone leaves it charging point, flies to the pick up point, picks up the order, delivers it and then flies back to charge.
