The urban skies could soon witness a revolution if the trajectory of drone technology continues its rapid ascent. In cities worldwide, the congestion on roads and environmental concerns prompt the need for more innovative approaches to delivery. Drones, with their ability to zip across the sky bypassing traffic, could be the messengers of the future. But are they poised to wholly replace traditional delivery methods like trucks and vans within the next five years ?

The jet engine without moving parts is not new, but it is too expensive to become widespread. But change could come, and one company is actively experimenting with it. When people think of a jet engine, most people think of the gas turbine version used on modern airliners. In this, the turbine, a rotating component, provides the thrust. But there are also systems that do not require a moving part: pulsating or pulsating jet engines.
