UPS is developing its own fleet of high-speed delivery drones capable of speeds up to 150mph

UPS has partnered with the German tech company Wingcopter to build a fleet of rugged, high speed delivery drones. The drones will be based on a model designed by Wingcopter, which can travel at speeds of up to 150mph and has a range of 75 miles.
