If there's a headwind either way, you're screwed

http://rt.com/news/190432-dhl-drones-parcel-delivery-germany/

"DHL’s Paketkopter 2.0 will begin flying to the island of Juist starting Friday, to deliver medicines to a population of fewer than 2,000 from the Seehund Pharmacy located on the mainland at Norddeich. The drone will fly at an altitude of 50 meters over the span of 12 kilometers each way without any control by a human pilot."

I kinda don't believe this story, unless it's not actually a quadcopter they're using. I don't see a quadcopter making 12 kilometers each way consistently, what with weather being a factor.
