A test project between the Swiss Postal Service and Matternet will test the feasibility of mail delivery by drone on Swiss postal routes. It could be pretty soon when the sound of a drone coming through the valleys signal the delivery of mail, replacing the familiar postman. :cool:

Swiss Post is working with drone outfit Matternet for the duration of the tests. The company’s first drone can transport packages up to 1 kg (2.2 pounds) a distance of 20 km (12.4 miles) on a single charge.

While someone might make the inevitable joke, if you are not familiar with Swiss gun laws, you should have a read. They are very interesting case study, no matter which side of the argument you belong to.
 
^^^What do Switzerland's relatively light gun regulations, and high guns per capita figures, have to do with mail drones?
 
Probably due to the fact that when a Swiss aims at something, they would usually hit their target. Drones included. :p

Check out the video of the guy in Alaska that uses a drone to fetch his mail from his mailbox that is 2 miles from his house. Amazing.
