        You buy a new toy online. It should come today. Knock, knock. You open the door, but can't see a delivery person. Instead, a drone(无人机) puts the package(包裹) at your door!

        It may sound like something from science fiction. But drone delivery is really happening around the world.

        Amazon is one of the world's biggest online shopping companies. On Dec. 7, it used a drone to deliver goods in the United Kingdom. The drone took a bag of popcorn and a smart TV stick. It flew for 13 minutes to get to a customer's home.

        In the United States, 7-Eleven used a drone to deliver a sandwich and coffee to a customer in July. In China, S.F. Express, China Post and JD.com all tried drone delivery this year.

        But the drone can't deliver everything. Take Amazon as an example. Packages must weigh five pounds (about 2. 3 kg) or less. It can only happen during the day. Also, the drone can only deliver a package in clear weather.
