they couldn’t handle a large capacity though. a truck can handle thousands of times the volume

they wouldn’t be much use for ammo or anything heavy like that: they’d pretty much be able to deliver meals and nothing else… perhaps repair parts for small things

i do know that they’ve setup logistics networks in africa with fixed-wing drones to deliver things like blood and medicine to hospitals, so that could be a good use for fixed wing drones - they need range and speed

Gereon RCS is a ground based drone, which can carry 500kg. The AI is needed, as remote controlling it is harder, due to obstacles on the ground making the radio link more difficult.
