The transportation and communication network model called the hub and spoke
system involves a central hub that serves as a transfer point to connect multiple
endpoints or spokes within the network. This model enables the hub to act as a
centralized location for managing, coordinating, and distributing goods, services, or
information to the different spokes. By applying the hub and spoke model, logistic
drones can offer numerous benefits, especially in the delivery of medical supplies and
equipment.

One significant advantage of using drones in the hub and spoke model is their ability to
transport medical supplies and equipment rapidly and efficiently over long distances.
This makes it feasible to access remote or hard-to-reach locations that may not be easily
accessible using conventional transportation methods. This feature becomes crucial in
