Google's secret technological research arm is introducing the next thing in the aviation-related internet field: a tiny, unmanned aircraft capable of making deliveries anywhere in the world.

The plane, which was designed over the course of two years, is intended to deliver products just like a human courier, with its main recipients being people living in isolated places who wish to order packages over the Internet.

In addition, the aircraft has another important purpose: access to disaster-stricken areas such as earthquakes, floods, or extreme weather events. The aircraft arrives at the precise area and drops the package at its destination.

The plane has a wingspan of 1.5 meters and is capable of carrying a package weighing 10 kilograms.

Unlike military drones, Google's aircraft is not operated by remote control, but is pre-programmed, and it flies to the target on its own.

And what's the next goal? Flying cars, flying bicycles that will play an elementary role in disaster-stricken areas.
