The online store Amozon is testing a new method of delivering parcels. It wants to start using drones to get packages to customers, in just 30 minutes. The drones are small, remote-controlled helicopters called ' octocopters'. Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos talked about them on the American TV show '60 Minutes'. He said: "I know this looks like science fiction . It's not ." He added: " We can do half - hour delivery .... and we can carry objects, we think , up to 2.3 kg, which covers 86 per cent of the items that we deliver." He joked , " It won't work for everything . We're not going to deliver kayaks this way.
