Recommended Posts

I guess it's real ... just discovered ... Amazon has a patent on a giant flying drone Mothership zeppelin warehouse. It will fly at 45,000feet, shuttle employees and fuel to the Mothership.

Additional, smaller airships would be used to return the drones back to the AFC, resupply the mothership with more inventory and fuel, and shuttle workers to the flying factory."
