The feat marks the first time that a drone has been used to safely transport an organ.
Last week, an unmanned drone developed by the University of Maryland delivered a donor kidney to the college's Medical Center, where it was successfully transplanted into a woman whose kidneys began failing over eight years ago.
Though the drone only traveled for about 10 minutes over a route less than three miles in length, the feat marks the first time that a drone has been used to safely transport an organ.
