The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA’s) UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight Aviation Rulemaking Committee Final Report leverages cross-aviation and government expertise to recommend how and why regulations must be updated to match the technology progress and safety needs of the US national airspace. The recommendations work to enable an industry that will increase safety, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve access to goods for the American public.

While Wing is most commonly associated with its drone delivery services, we are also working to help lay the foundation that will enable manned and unmanned aircraft to safely share the sky. All around the world, Wing is building technology, supporting research and sharing best practices to help enable an open UTM ecosystem. This UTM ecosystem (called U-space in Europe) will not only support drone delivery, but also the broader commercial and recreational drone community.

Wing is using drones to make delivery safer, faster and more sustainable. We’ve developed a lightweight, electric and highly automated aircraft to deliver packages from merchants to customers. Our technology enables us to fly many deliveries at the same time, helping to reach thousands of homes within a city.

For decades, the aviation industry has relied on air traffic management (ATM) systems to keep the skies safe. These systems depend on people in air traffic control towers, voice communication, paper charts and manual processes. This system can safely manage thousands of manned flights at a time around the world. But what happens when we need a system capable of managing millions of drone flights, from medicine deliveries to hobbyists flying in their backyard?

Think back to the last time you came down with a cold, opened your medicine cabinet and found nothing useful. Chances are you hopped in a car that weighs thousands of pounds (~700 aardvarks) to pick up a container of medicine smaller than the palm of your hand. You sat stuffy-nosed at traffic lights and walked into a store while ill, all the while contributing to road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.

Wing has designed a lightweight, electric and highly automated drone to deliver packages to homes. Wing’s delivery drone is a hybrid design that incorporates fixed wings to cruise like an airplane and 12 hover rotors to takeoff, hover and land vertically like a helicopter. In this way, the drone can pick up a package from a local business, cruise quickly to a customer and gently deliver the package to a specific location outside their home.

Drone technology has the potential to become an important part of Australia’s delivery sector, particularly in fulfilling ‘last-mile’ deliveries. Last-mile delivery is particularly challenging in Australia, where logistics providers face congested city roads at one extreme and sparsely populated countryside at the other. Consumers are doing more of their shopping online, but still face limited delivery options. Drone delivery has the potential to save businesses and consumers in Australia time and money, while also helping to reduce congestion, greenhouse gas emissions and accidents on the road.

RID is a crucial technology for drones as it can provide the identity and location of a drone, facilitating transparency for governments, law enforcement, community members and operators alike. In the final rule, instead of looking to the future of the industry and supporting a secure, scaleable, low cost network remote ID solution, the FAA used a traditional aviation paradigm to regulate pilotless, lightweight drones.

Wing is committed to the safe, open, and secure use of airspace. Wing supports the remote identification of drones (Remote ID). Remote ID is an important capability that will help to promote responsible flying and improve security. However, the proposed rule poses some challenges. Wing recommends the following amendments to better support the diverse UAS ecosystem, protect privacy, and enable hobbyists to continue sharing the skies. Together, these changes will help to maximize opportunities for compliance, improving safety and security outcomes for all airspace users.
