Snail mail or sMail soon to be a term of the past

A trial said to be a world-first to use a drone to deliver mail has been completed by SingPost and the the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA).

While mail delivery by ‪drones‬ has been tested previously, the @singpost trial is understood to be the first time a ‪‎postal‬ service has successfully used a drone to deliver mail with authentication by the recipient.

The ‪‎drone‬ trial flight was made possible with permissions and cooperation from ‪‎Ministry‬ of Transport, Singapore, ‪‎Maritime‬ and Port Authority of Singapore - MPA, The Republic of Singapore Air Force, Singapore Police Force and CAAS.
