Chinese company uses drones for cake delivery services

Drones serve as instruments to an end. 

In politics, drones have been used to kill political opponents or for spying/surveillance. As a destructive weapon to attain foreign policy goals, for every drone strike, 50 civilians are killed for every terrorist, notes the Policymic.com. The children death toll from drones attacks in Pakistan has now reached 94 according to Foreign Policy

But there is a brighter side for the alternative uses of drones.

A company in China uses “cheap drones” to service cake deliveries

From Shanghai Daily: (hat tip zero hedge)

HAVE the cake and eat it too.

And get it delivered in style as well.

In a crazy story that would make even spy master James Bond sit up and take notice, a local cake factory is using drones to deliver cakes in Shanghai! And China's civil aviation authorities are not too happy about it.

The factory used remote-controlled aircraft on five different occasions to "fly" cakes across the Huangpu River to customers in downtown, claimed Men Ruifeng, the marketing manager of the Incake company, which only accepts orders online.

The drone, measuring 1.1 meters in diameter and fitted with five propellers, flies at a height of about 100 meters and can be remotely controlled over several kilometers. It has two cameras and the controller can pilot it from a nearby vehicle, Men said.

The company has three such drones, all of them refitted from a Chinese-made aviation model.

Commercial applications of drones, as previously pointed out, will largely be positive or constructive for society.
