EXCLUSIVEBritain's 'drone superhighway' will be completed this SUMMER: 165-mile long network will let pilotless devices fly between the Midlands and the Southeast - but sceptics warn it will be 'annoying and intrusive' for people living under the flight p

While a drone superhighway might sound better suited to a science-fiction blockbuster than the Midlands, it's set to become a reality this summer.

The world's first drone superhighway will open in the UK between June and early July, allowing pilotless drones to make high-speed deliveries across the country.

Developed by drone software provider Altitude Angel, the 165-mile-long Skyway network will connect Coventry in the Midlands to Milton Keynes in the Southeast.

However, sceptics have warned that the drone highway 'inevitably poses risk' for the privacy and safety of Britons living in its flight path.
