A critical moment has arrived for U.S. aviation policy

Wing was grateful for the opportunity this week to testify before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s subcommittee on Aviation, and for the chance to meet with lawmakers from both chambers and both sides of the aisle. We’re really encouraged by the efforts underway to help bring the benefits of this aviation innovation to the American people.

The Wing Delivery Network

Companies around the world have been working for over a decade to develop drone technologies that will work together with ground transportation to greatly improve last-mile delivery. Wing’s ultimate vision is to deliver people’s packages more efficiently and safely as part of an automated logistics system that routinely moves packages by the millions. The economics of drone delivery improve dramatically with scale, and all of the salient metrics (access, safety, and sustainability) become far more meaningful at large volumes.

Did someone say road trip?

When it comes to drone delivery, seeing really is believing and we’re going to be bringing drone delivery to events so that more people can experience it. Until recently, that was only possible at one of our existing facilities, but not anymore!

Wing in 2022: Laying the foundation for scalable drone delivery

If there is one clear trend that defines Wing’s progress in 2022, it’s that this is the year when we began to see what drone delivery at scale can really look like.

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.
