I think 60 minutes is crap.

I want deliveries within 5 minutes.

The products can already be boxed and attached to a drone. And then when someone orders that product, the drone takes off and flies at 100 mph to your address.

100 mph for 5 minutes is 8 miles, which covers a 16 mile diameter circle, a few of which would fully cover even large cities.

And there are plenty of drones which can fly 100 mph - world record small drones go nearly 200 mph.

I think under 30 mins is reasonable. That's faster than any trip to a local store and increases the radius of who can get service.

Now to get them to deliver pizzas :p

That's still too slow. Mini cruise missiles are what I want.
