Abstract
A drone delivery system and network includes host sites that are geographically arranged in a region having overlapping drone delivery ranges. A central flight server of the system determines delivery flight paths for a drone transporting a payload from an originating host site to another host site or a target site in the network. The flight range of the drone is extended based on a delivery type for the payload and a distance of the target site from the originating host site.
