If I make a quarter scale foam version and it carries 22 kg, then it can autonomously deliver two heavy bags of groceries over 80 km distances. The cost, total, is under 2 grand. Mostly you pay for a small two horsepower motor, the electronic controls are $200.
Drone deliveries:
So, in the remote, why bother with a trip to town, send the little drone. The town store can leave some open space in the back for landing and tack off.
How to regulate?
Drones fly routes by contract, they are smart enough to coordinate with air traffic control. Drones hav smart cards, they obey drone government rules, or not as the owner specifies. Air traffic control expects lots of drone deliveries around small rural towns. No middleman, just use you smart phone app to send it out for a six pack.
