Recently,
Amazon's interesting video was released online. It was a video of an Amazon
named airship floating in the sky and a drones coming out of an airship.
Netizens are finally amazed that the delivery of the drones has come true, and
they have expressed interest in like the carrier of the StarCraft computer
game.

Many people
were concerned that the video of the Amazon airship was genuine or fake.
However, the video was confirmed to be a precisely worked with CG. On April 1,
April Fool's Day, a Japanese video producer uploaded a CG video of an Amazon
airship to his SNS account, and after a while he uploaded a photo of the CG
producing process and confirmed it was a fake video.

Amazon's airship shipping patents,
One of the
biggest reasons why netizens thought it was real while watching the airship video
is probably because Amazon owns a patent on shipping methods using airships and
drones. Amazon's patent literature, which was released a few years ago, shows
how to ship to a destination using airships and then deliver them individually
using drone. There is already an article published on the news that Amazon is
studying drones delivery, and it seems that many people thought that Amazon was
made the video in real by the fact that Amazon owns the patent.

Although
Amazon's airship images have turned out to be April Fools' Day funk, I think it
might be possible for Amazon to actually deliver those ships. Amazon is doing a
lot of research related to unmanned delivery using drone, and it has succeeded
in test delivery. It is expected that Amazon, which is leading the innovation
through various research and development, can actually deliver the airship or
introduce more innovative delivery.
