Amazon patents bizarre accordion chute for delivery drones

Amazon has patented a way for its delivery drones to drop off packages without ever having to land. The new patent describes an accordion-like tube that would extend from the drone to a drop-off point such as a porch and let the package slide through to a safe landing. Additionally, the technology could make it easier to deliver packages when conditions aren't optimal for landing and also cut down on noise pollution.
