Read it:

California and Rwanda, 2011 to 2023. A failed toy-robot company shuts down in January 2014 and four of its people start again from a sentence instead of a machine: move blood ten to fifty miles, ten times faster than a truck, at half the cost, with nothing burned. The rest falls out of that sentence as arithmetic — a wing instead of rotors, a catapult instead of a runway, a parachute instead of a landing, fifty pounds instead of four thousand. The aircraft turns out to be the easy part. What takes seven years is persuading civil aviation authorities in Kigali, Accra and Washington to write a rule for a machine none of them has a category for, and finding out what the blood did when it landed. Covers Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, Keenan Wyrobek, Ryan Oksenhorn, William Hetzler, Zipline International, and Romotive.
