Wing
Wing designs and builds its own hybrid VTOL/fixed-wing delivery aircraft and the full autonomy stack: aircraft fly pre-planned, automatically generated routes with onboard perception and redundant navigation, hover at altitude and lower packages on a tether rather than landing. A cloud fleet-management layer (including Wing's OpenSky UTM airspace platform) coordinates many aircraft per operator across multi-store networks. The company was the first to receive an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate for drone delivery (April 2019) and operates highly automated 'AutoLoader' pickup infrastructure at partner stores; average fulfillment time in its Dallas-Fort Worth network is under 19 minutes.
