Anyone know the spec of these or who developing them for Amazon? Looks to be a very unusual design

Amazon has said drone deliveries will launch within months - but has not revealed which areas will get the service first.

And this is a good thing? This is why the FAA is putting so many new restrictions on recreational drone flying in my opinion. I can't see any good coming from this in that the regulations clearly state that we can't fly our drones over occupied dwellings and near people on the ground. So, how is Amazon getting permission to fly these in urban areas? I know... $$$$$$$$
