The British company Windhorse Aerospace develops three different models of what is called 'edible drones.' These nutritious and uncrewed airplanes can carry various loads and help ease civilians' suffering living in disaster areas. Food aid by a drone that is edible to help people in need is a big step forwards in emergency help action.

Food Aid By Drone Which Is Edible To Help People In Need
"Terrorizing entire populations has become one of the most efficient methods of modern warfare," said Nigel Gifford, the company's founder. "This way, we can send people the food they need."
Gifford came up with the idea when he was talking to a British Royal Air Force officer who was trying to find ways to get food to the people of Aleppo. That city was completely razed to the ground last year during the Syrian civil war.

Edible Drone?
Gilford immediately thought. Unmanned drones do not pose a risk of losing a pilot and can also land in difficult-to-reach areas with relatively high accuracy. Therefore, the company is working on three prototypes, the largest of which will have a wing width of 2.75 meters. The types of food that the drone prototypes will be made of are unknown, but Windhorse Aerospace wants to consider religious factors in that choice.

Many foods supplied by aid organizations often remains untouched in the absence of it. Gifford is not ready for his test piece. He is the founder of Ascenta, a company that makes drones that run on solar energy and sold to Facebook.
