The uses of drones have a significant impact in our society nowadays. In the past, these little flying helicopters are often associated with military and surveillance.
Now, drones help media men capture news like taking a video footage of a raging wildfire. Farmers monitor how are their crops are growing. Drones help NASA in hunting for hurricanes without risking any human life.
Amazon, Google and Walmart are just few of the giant companies working on their drone delivery systems with the intention to bring convenience and improving customer satisfaction.
Unlike Amazon's latest perk for Prime Members that offers free restaurant delivery service using the Amazon's Prime Now App, this Indian restaurant in Milton Keynes will delivery your favorite Bombay dish right at your doorsteps with the use of Phantom 3 drone, Mirror reports.
The Don offers a vast ranged of dishes such as Biryani, Tandoori, Sundries and more will surely cater all palates.
"I'm determined to beat Google and Amazon and be the first to use delivery drones," Aki Rahman, one of the restaurant owners said.
Rahman applied to get a permit at the City Aviation Authority to legally fly drone. A thermal takeaway bag that fits securely on the bottom rails of the drone will hold the food. Rahman has been able to deliberately land the drone to make sure nothing goes wrong with the food.
"We've done a trial run to my grandmother's house and it all went well."
A special camera will track the delivery progress of the curry-drone and customers will be offered with a video clip on how the food reaches them.
Rahman is confident that CAA will authorize him to fly the aircraft over built-up areas where power lines can be an obstacle.
He added: "I'm 80 per cent sure I will be allowed."
"But if not, I will stick to delivering in rural, open areas - perhaps delivering to a park if people want a special occasion picnic."
The restaurant which opened recently will surely guarantee to satisfy your craving for "real" and authentic Indian cuisine. The Don claims not using any artificial colourings or additives.
"These ingredients [additives] are not genuine. They are not what Indian people eat - and they would only provide more weight for my drone."
The restaurant serves up a number of popular English menu including Madras, Vindaloo and Jalfrezi, as well as a fiery dish called "Naga" made with the infamous world's hottest naga chilli pepper.
