Google offshoot’s drone delivery business is cleared for takeoff by FAA

A Wing Hummingbird drone carries a package of ice cream and popsicles during a 2018 demonstration in Blacksburg, Va.

It required Wing to create extensive manuals, training routines and a safety hierarchy — just as any air carrier must do. Mark Blanks, director of the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership, which has been working with Wing on tests of the deliveries, said they would “be working with the community a lot more as we prepare to roll this out.”

Some drone companies have complained that the process was too onerous. Many of the requirements that made sense for a charter airline — like flight attendants and seat belts for the crew — didn’t apply to them.

ulterial Ugh. I see many drones caught in power lines and trees in the near future.

Consumerism, capitalism, the end of the world at its finest. one of the Rs is reduce can we reduce less, consumerism put your money in the community where it needs to be!! build housing for the actual unhoused ppl, not NEW people FUCKTHISSOCALLEDGOVERNMENT
