So when we talked about the Pentagon’s plans to shoot “medical missiles” at wounded soldiers, many of your might have thought, “Hey, I’ve immobilized myself in a shell of Cocoa Puffs and my own drools and even I know that’s stupid.” But maybe it was all just a concerted effort to make this latest supplies-system a little less goofy. Called “CopterBox,” the pentagonal hexagonal cardboard boxes have rotating blades that, when dropped from a moving helicopter or airplane, unfurl to slowly carry down payloads of up to 60 lbs. And hey! They’re cheap – only $300 per unit. Maybe that’s why every branch of the military that manufacturer DropMaster has approached has told them they aren’t needed.
