    I didn’t see mention of what allowable ceiling of flight this is for, still below 400 feet? I would expect there will be regular flight paths established to specific urgent delivery customers (like hospitals) rather than just any package.

      I would imagine it’s still below 400ft to minimize the chance of interfering with manned aircraft. I read through a handful of articles though and none mentioned it.
