Groceries delivered by drone starting in the US

The launch of drone delivery services around Dallas-Fort Worth is a major milestone for Wing and marks its first major operation outside of . Until now, Wing was mainly active in the Australian capital, Canberra, where the company says it has now delivered more than 200,000 orders per drone. Sometimes more than 1,000 deliveries in a day (one every 25 seconds, Wing said), reflecting continued demand growth.

Wing is now eager to replicate this success in other , including the US. Deliveries will begin in two Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs, Frisco and Little Elm. There are tens of thousands of households in both districts. In addition to items from drugstore chain Walgreens, the drones will also deliver ice cream from Blue Creameries, pet medication from Easyvet, and first aid kits from Texas Health.

Phased rollout of drone deliveries

“We are confident that local consumers will fall for the Wing drone delivery service. But I have to set clear expectations: not everyone who lives within range of our drones will be able to order on day 1,” said a spokesperson for Wing. “We will be inviting customers into groups to ensure everyone has a good first experience with drone delivery.”

Customers who want to have their groceries delivered by drone can use the Wing app. Employees of the affiliated stores then attach the package to the drone. After that, a Wing employee takes over the process. Arriving at the delivery address, the drone lowers the package by means of a winch in the garden or on the driveway, depending on what the package requires. The entire flight can be tracked via the app.

No BVLOS yet

An interesting fact is that Wing does not yet have permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to allow the drones to operate fully automatically out of the pilot’s view (). For that reason, Wing has hired several 无人机飞行员, who oversee the drone flights from a central location.
