Amazon is looking to the sky to store products with the development of airships that will work as a hub for its delivery-drones.
The online behemoth has filed a patent to create “airborne fulfilment centres” (AFCs), reports Reuters.
The AFCs would hover at about 45,000 feet and be restocked by “shuttles or smaller airships,” according to the patent.
While the patent was filed two years ago, it was spotted recently by Zoe Leavitt, an analyst at data and research firm CB Insights.
