The article describes the advantages and disadvantages of using quadcopters in the delivery industries. A list of leading drone manufacturing companies is provided. Key technological parameters are considered, such as increased delivery speed, in comparison with ground transportation of small-sized cargo. Attention is paid to economic aspects and an assessment of cost reduction from the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, which were provided by such companies as Kiva Systems and ARK Investment Management. The possibility of saving money due to the lack of an urgent need for personnel and infrastructure is also highlighted. Domestic experience in using drones in logistics is touched upon. An analysis of the problems that complicate the implementation of quadcopters and ways to solve them is provided. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of using neural networks to improve the efficiency of drones and optimize energy consumption. A study of the environmental friendliness of using unmanned aerial vehicles is taken into account. Studies comparing the carbon footprint of drones and traditional transport are presented.
