Trials have been taking place to see if radioactive medicine can be delivered to hospitals by drone.
Coventry-based drone company Skyfarer has teamed up with University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust and Viking Drone Packaging to build the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Named Orca, the drone would allow hospitals to send and receive treatments with a short lifespan, much more quickly than by road, said Skyfarer.
The test drone could carry packages up to 15kg (33lbs) in weight.
