This paper analyzes how medical supplies can be safely transported through eco-friendly means to areas affected by disasters such as floods using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. We compared the performance of different bio-degradable tensegrity structures with fragile payloads cushioned with coir padding by conducting drop tests from successively greater heights upto 75 meters on surfaces with different hardness. Our results showed that the bio-degradable tensegrities was able to absorb the shock on impact successively in all cases without any damage to the payload. The results suggest that biodegradable tensegrities are a viable option for fragile payload delivery.
