EDIT: Drone deliveries are now happening

“The FAA confirmed in a statement Monday that it hadn’t previously allowed drones to make routine commercial package deliveries, known as revenue flights. Others have flown drone deliveries as part of smaller-scale tests or demonstrations.” Sounds like a major leap forward to me! Drone...

Our drone delivery app is currently on the App Store where we are perfecting this system. Standard obstacle avoidance sensors will detect most of those you mentioned and the pilot will also be able to manually avoid obstacles while keeping the flight path intact. App: https://bit.ly/flywithzing

We will not be doing deliveries in high density urban environments in the beginning. We will only be doing them in places where current consumer drone tech makes it possible right now with DJI’s OcuSync and LightBridge connections.

There are over 80,000 drone pilots in the US who are already certified and looking for ways to monetize their drones. Some Uber drivers will buy their own car to start $20k+ vs. a drone $1.5k and a $150 Part 107 license. People already pay $7+ for deliveries from Uber Eats and GrubHub, then...

As long as the drone pilot has radio link with his controller they will be able to monitor the FPV view. If signal is lost the drone will either return home at a pre-set altitude or complete the waypoint mission using its internal GPS. High density urban environments are not ideal with current...

Along with a change in line of sight regulations will also be a nationwide agreed upon UTM system meant to control drone traffic and prevent collisions. NASA has been working on this for over three years and will be submitting their final results to the FAA this September. We will have to see...

There is a fundamental difference between our business model and the big guys. We are going to enable any part 107 pilot to earn a flexible uncapped income by making deliveries with their drone. The big guys are keeping the entire system internal to reap the maximum profit. We will enable drone...

Less Than 2 Hours Remaining on Kickstarter Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach 175% of our goal so far! We are going to use any funds gathered from the Kickstarter to improve the Zing applications and delivery boxes. If you would like to order a Zing delivery box or support us...

Being in the trial phases is far better than the idea phase. The data from these 60,000 deliveries will undoubtedly be used in Wing’s case to bring drone delivery to the USA. Plus Alphabet has the influence (financially) to make changes to US policies on their side.

This will be the first market for Wing in Europe, and its second extended pilot globally: Wing has run four separate trials covering some 55,000 journeys in Australia (and 60,000 overall), carrying things as diverse as medicine and coffee, across a range of environments. As with the Aussie...

Thank you for pointing that out. Normally LOS and VLOS are used interchangeably. Are you saying just in the United States or globally? Drone deliveries are already happening by the thousands in Australia and Finland with Wing. There have also been over ten thousand commercial deliveries done...

Nowhere in the Kickstarter does it say we are going to be fast food deliveries right now. We are laying the groundwork to do them in the future. Suggesting that drone deliveries are never going to happen is denying the fact that the FAA and NASA are almost done implementing the system to make it...
