Alphabet’s Wing, the drone transport company run by Google’s parent company Alphabet, has unveiled a series of prototype aircraft designed to transport different types of cargo. The new drones will use the same basic components as the planes currently used to deliver medicine and other small packages in suburban areas outside Dallas-Fort Worth, the company said. According to Alphabet’s Wing CEO Adam Woodworth, the goal is to make the delivery department the same size as a vehicle of the same size. Just as the best vehicle for transporting a ton of sand is a dump truck, not a sedan, the best airplane for transporting a bottle of medicine is no better for delivering a gallon of milk or delivering a refrigerator. Woodworth wrote on his blog. In the video, the company showed off drones of various sizes, including a large drone that can carry more than 7 pounds, and a smaller drone designed to carry medications weighing 0.6 pounds. The flagship Wing drone is designed to carry a payload of up to 2.5 pounds. The company said the Amazon manager refers to comments made by Amazon Manager today, which is 90 % of the delivery of £ or less.

The company claimed that 90 % of delivery today is five to less than the distribution of a revolutionary business movement of drones around cities and promises to conduct large operations in the future. Instead, the technology is focused primarily on small-scale testing, vaccines and delivering blood to remote locations. Customers can currently order products at a limited number of Wing partner stores, including Walgreens, Blue Bell Creameries, EasyVet, and Texas Health. Wing hopes to expand its delivery service by introducing aircraft of various sizes that can carry small or large packages.
“The aircraft are operating very efficiently around the design point,” Woodworth said. Big planes carry big things and small planes carry small things. For planes like ours, these things usually make up 25% of the plane’s weight. The company has not released a launch schedule for these new drones, stressing that they are all still in the prototype stage. The wing isn’t the only company focused on building drones capable of handling heavy packages. Elroy Air is developing a drone the size of a small airplane that can carry up to 700 pounds of cargo up to 300 miles.
