One of the leading companies in the drone delivery game has taken the wraps off several new autonomous aircraft that it aims to deploy as it continues to build out its platform.
The team came up with the plan after considering how it might be able to improve the overall efficiency of its drone delivery system. For several years Wing has been testing a fixed-wing vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft, and so engineers took what they learned from that machine and applied it to the building of smaller and larger drones capable of carrying different-sized packages.
“Here at Wing we spend a lot of time thinking about how to move packages through the sky,” Woodworth said in an accompanying blog post. “Solving the problem of on-demand delivery will always require a variety of vehicles. Just as the ideal vehicle for carrying a ton of gravel would be a dump truck rather than a sedan, the ideal aircraft to carry a bottle of medication is not the same as the best one to deliver a gallon of milk, and neither is suited to deliver a refrigerator.
Woodworth added: “We can have tiny planes for pharmaceutical delivery, big planes for shipping fulfillment, long range aircraft for logistic flights, and dedicated hovering platforms for delivery in cities.”
