The crew of Galleon.ph is excited to announce a new revolution in delivery service - a first ever in the world making us Filipinos once again proud to be Pinoys.

Galleon.ph is proud to unveil the Aquatic Drone!

The Aquatic Drone is specifically designed for delivering small items by propelling itself through different bodies of water to deliver the item to its recipient, our customer. It can accommodate items of up to 2 pounds in weight and up to 5 x 4 x 3 inches in volume. Propelled by a pair of 3 inch wide propellers, the Aquatic Drone can reach speeds of up to 9.5 kph. A fitted GPS and mobile internet will guide it through the waterways towards the delivery destination and back.

Compared to the well publicized Air Drone by Amazon, the Aquatic Drone has major upsides. For one, it uses less energy to deliver items as it only needs a pair of propellers compared to the 6 propellers of the Air Drone. Second, the Aquatic Drone will be going with the flow of water instead of against it. Even if it means going around a few kilometers, it will make up on the speed what it lost on the distance. Most importantly, unlike the Air Drone, the Aquatic Drone is safe. If it runs out of battery, malfunctions or hits something, it would not hurl towards the ground and break the package and worst, injure anybody.

Prototypes are currently being finalized for manufacturing. Expect to see an Aquatic Drone by the last quarter of 2014. It will be first launched within Metro Manila and slowly to the entire Philippines.
