Flirtey, based in Reno, Nevada, completed the first FAA-approved drone delivery in the United States on July 17, 2015 when its six-rotor drone delivered medical supplies from an airfield to a medical clinic in Wise County, Virginia. The Flirtey delivery drone flew three 3-minute flights and delivered 10 pounds of medicine to the clinic, showing the potential for using drones to deliver goods to remote areas. It used a custom, 3D-printed tether to lower the medicine to the ground.
