Wing unveils first-of-its-kind Remote Operations Center for drone delivery
Before we dig in, I want you to take a moment to imagine a commercial drone operator. Where are they? What are they wearing? Are they holding anything?
Let me guess: you’re imagining a person standing outside with their eyes on the sky, a high visibility vest on their back and a set of joysticks under their thumbs.
If that’s what you had in mind, you have a pretty accurate sense of what a job in this industry has looked like for the past decade or so – but it’s time to reimagine that role.

Do delivery drones have cameras?
There’s a saying: use the right tool for the job. It means don’t use a tool that is too big or small for the task at hand – use one that is sized correctly. In the delivery space, the wrong tool is often used. For example, multi thousand pound vehicles deliver small packages on-demand all the time. At Wing, we’re designing a better tool. To deliver lots of small, lightweight packages – we designed a drone that is small and lightweight. Rightsizing the tool for the task is a key design philosophy for Wing. It drives everything from understanding the problem we’re trying to solve to the next iterations of drones we plan to build to how our drones see and perceive the world around them.

Wing brings drone delivery to Ireland as European regulators embrace positive steps
The European Union has recently made important progress in developing regulations for uncrewed aviation, providing a framework that seems poised to enable safe and scalable drone delivery. Wing is encouraged by what’s taking shape, and now we’re excited to explore the ways we can leverage these new regulations to bring this service to more European communities.Wednesday, October 19, 2022
Wing and Mirvac team up to transform Australian urban retail spaces into drone delivery hubs
At Wing, we spend a lot of time thinking about how to move packages through the sky. But for our drone delivery network to have the greatest impact, our ground game has to be on point too.
