Switzerland's postal service has begun to test the viability of using unmanned drones to deliver small packages. "This could, for example, involve bringing supplies to an area that has been cut off from the outside world following a storm. " The Swiss Post is testing a drone that can carry up to 100 kilograms (250 pounds) in an area as large as 10 meters (33 feet) and at speeds between 5 km/h (5 mph) The project is a collaboration between Swiss Post, Swiss WorldCargo and California-based drone manufacturer Matternet.
