With the Federal Aviation Administration's historic certification, Wing Aviation’s drone deliveries are set to arrive in Virginia.
Packages from local businesses are set to be delivered in Blacksburg and Christiansburg, Virginia, after the company consults with the local community, according to the release and a Medium post by the company. The goal is to launch a delivery trial later this year, Wing wrote in its Medium post. Wing Aviation conducted over 70,000 test flights with more than 3,000 deliveries to Australian doorsteps, driveways and backyards over several years in order to meet the FAA’s safety requirements to qualify, according to the news release and Medium post.
Wing’s drones can fly up to 120 kilometers, or about 74.5 miles, per hour, and can fly up to 400 feet above the ground, according to Google X’s website. The first of Wing's drone deliveries were completed in 2014 in Queensland, Australia, where everything from dog treats to a first-aid kit were delivered to farmers. Two years later in 2016, Wing’s drones delivered burritos to Virginia Tech students, according to Google X’s website.
Who is going to control all of this traffic by drones?
airline pilots will become the blacksmith`s of the future !
Not much faith in FAA certifications. Just don't certify drone Max series.
I'm kind of looking forward to the chaos that will come with drone delivery. TargetPractice BattingPractice
Oh, shit. The carbon footprint of these drones is gigantic. Is there someone on staff to collect failures? What's the backup delivery plan? This initiative *defines* 'ill-advised'. This is showing all the signs of becoming a boutique, elitist service.
