Amazon asked Portland, Oregon to review a Prime Air drone hub at its Schmeer Road warehouse for early 2027, under a national FAA review Oregon's AG fought.

DroneXL sent Amazon, Wing and Zipline the same drone delivery safety questions on one deadline. One company answered. Its answers are published in full.

Amazon rerouted its Papillion drones 1,000 feet from bald eagle nests. Residents counting 50 flights an hour got the FAA's address instead.
Amazon displayed its MK30 at a Tracy car show before launch. The FAA has published no environmental assessment for the site, and no comment period opened.

Amazon asked the CAA to fly Prime Air across all of Darlington after 500 flights, against a permission that already allows 100 deliveries a weekday.

An Amazon MK30 set itself down on a Florida Boulevard grass strip Friday, props intact, as storms crossed the parish. Amazon has not said why.

Amazon told Baton Rouge its delivery drones beat an idling truck. Its own FAA noise filing puts the delivery hover at 92.1 decibels.

Amazon promises drone delivery in nearly 500 US cities by December. An FAA approval run and one national document explain how it got there this fast.
