It has provided the design for Prime Air 's new delivery drone . It can avoid unexpected obstacles (including moving ones), of course, but it should also be adept at spotting wires that drones are more likely to miss, such as power lines or the clothesline in your backyard. The hybrid - designed drone is capable of vertical take - off and landing while retaining the aerodynamics of a fixed - wing aircraft . The drone operates on six axes of movement rather than four , which enhances stability and improves performance in windy conditions . However , the introduction of such a delivery service is still subject to regulatory approval .
