Wing, a company specializing in drones, owned by Alphabet, has unveiled a group of drones of different sizes that deliver a variety of payloads.

According to a blog on the company's website written by Adam Woodworth, the new CEO of Wing, the drones deliver payloads of various sizes.

Transporting various payloads across the sky

"Here at Wing, we spend a lot of time thinking about how to move packages across the sky. Solving a delivery problem will always require a variety of vehicles," Woodworth said on the blog. sedan, and the perfect walk for a bottle of medicine is not the same as the best for a gallon of milk, nor are they suitable for delivering a refrigerator.”

One of the criteria that must always be followed when engineering new drones for the delivery process is that the cargo must be about 25% of the mass of the aircraft.

Meanwhile, new vehicle designs rely on combinations of common avionics, propulsion system elements, and materials.

"The rapid development of aircraft engineering allows us to adapt them to a wide range of uses, from delivering food, medicine and other goods, to optimizing the supply chain and emergency response," Woodworth explained.

Today, drones have weight restrictions, so they can't be used to deliver everything.

Currently, the heaviest package a drone can carry is about 2.7 kilograms, which prevents companies from delivering large orders.

Dealing with big boxes

The company stated that it would deal with "large boxes", and Woodworth said, "In some cases, the connections are challenged by aerodynamics, and in other cases the difficulty is how to carry a large box in an aircraft that is not very large. Because these aircraft designs are intended to take advantage of the elements In the operating system, we can focus the new design work on a shorter list of new and unique tasks, knowing that the platform remains the same.”

"We could have small planes for drug delivery, big planes for freight, long-range planes for logistics flights, and platforms for city delivery," he added.

And in August 2021, the company reached a critical stage, and succeeded in delivering 100,000 orders, thanks to the popularity it had found in the suburbs of Australia.

The company seeks to provide a range of services and additional options with its new variety of unmanned aircraft, which deal with a wide range of goods.

Could this be the new future for the delivery of orders via drones?
