Wing
Delivery by drone, today
About Wing
Wing is Alphabet's autonomous drone delivery subsidiary, operating one of the world's first commercial drone delivery services. Originally a project within Google X, Wing became an independent Alphabet company and has been conducting commercial deliveries in the United States, Australia, and Europe, delivering food, packages, and household items to residential customers.
Wing's delivery drones use a unique hover-and-lower approach, descending a tether with the package while the drone remains safely overhead. The company's automated operations platform manages airspace, flight planning, and fleet coordination, enabling high-volume delivery operations with minimal human oversight.
Wing was the first drone delivery company to receive FAA Air Carrier certification in the US and has completed hundreds of thousands of commercial deliveries. The company also developed an unmanned traffic management (UTM) platform, OpenSky, to help integrate drones safely into shared airspace alongside manned aircraft.
