Britain's Domino's Pizza has released a prototype of its DomiCopter, a remote controlled helicopter for pizza delivery, on YouTube. The DomiCopter can deliver a pizza to a customer 16 kilometers away from the store in 10 minutes.

The development of the domicopter was done by Aerosight, a company specializing in aerial photography using small unmanned helicopters, which is also used by major broadcasters. The company's technology for shooting stable, high quality images in the sky and transmitting the images to the ground was used to enable pizza delivery by remote controlled helicopter. In the future, the company plans to develop a GPS-equipped domicopter capable of fully automatic pizza delivery.

Tom Hatton of T + Biscuits, the advertising company that designed the domicopter, said in an interview with Fox News.

Domicopters can deliver pizzas faster than delivery bikes.

Mr. Hatton explained that the reason for this is that the domicopter does not have to stop at red lights.

Hatton explains that this is because the domicopter doesn't have to stop at red lights. "We were amazed at how easy it was to deliver with the domicopter.

Unfortunately, there are no plans to commercialize the domicopter at this time.
