• Wendover Productions did a great video detailing this a few years back. It’s so cool what they’ve done. [VIDEO] Also, Wendover have a fantastic Youtube channel that’s focused on global logistics. It’s endlessly fascinating and extremely well executed. Strongly recommended.

• The catapult launches the drones into the air, which then parachute the package to the location. Real Engineering [1] and Wendover Productions [2] have really nice videos about their system currently deployed in Rwanda. [1]: [LINK] [2]: [VIDEO]
