#2
Able to carry about 500 lbs, 18 miles per charge and comes with a price tag of roughly $233k.

So the CCP has developed a flying delivery vehicle, able to fly over security barriers, around or land on Hi-rise Buildings.

Any predictions on how long before a protestor / terrorist group steals one and makes it an agenda delivery vehicle also?
