The AFC would remain in the air and be refueled and replenished using a shuttle, possibly a smaller aircraft capable of docking onto the airship and unloading products as well as fuel. The shuttle would also bring used drones back onto the AFC, as the delivery vehicles currently being tested by Amazon are unable to reach the height where the AFC stays.
The idea seems to be an extension for Amazon's drone delivery initiative known as Prime Air. The company has been working on the technology for years, trying to reaching customer homes without relying on logistics companies.
With completion of its first drone delivery test in the United Kingdom earlier this month, Amazon plans to expand its drone testing in 2017.
