After the FAA set strict limitations for commercial drone use in America, Amazon decided to take its drone testing and research outside the country and into Canada. The company is currently doing delivery drone tests at an undisclosed location in British Columbia. They're making use of the airspace above 200 feet yet below 500 feet so it's well above most buildings yet still below airplanes and helicopters. According to The Guardian who got to visit the facility, the Amazon drones are going to weigh less than 55 pounds and carry five-pound or lighter loads and they will fly at around 50 miles per hour.
