Our commitment to a safer way to deliver
Wing’s lightweight delivery drones are designed to be among the safest ways to transport goods.
By moving small packages through the air rather than on the road, we aim to reduce the frustrations and risks associated with traditional delivery. One of our safety objectives is to maintain a lower risk to the public than conventional ground transportation. To date, Wing has safely completed well over one million on-demand deliveries.
More than a million commercial deliveries to homes
Millions of residents have access to Wing drone delivery
First Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) company to hold an FAA Part 135 certificate
Expanding to nearly 20 U.S. metros coast to coast
Built for safety from the ground up
Wing has spent more than a decade designing and building aircraft with safety as our first priority.
Lightweight design
Our FAA approved drones are made mostly of foam and are designed to be lightweight, leading the industry in payload to aircraft weight efficiencies.
Redundancy
The design includes multiple levels of redundancy to keep the aircraft in the air even if a component fails.
Real-time checks
Onboard software conducts constant health and safety checks during every flight.
Certified pilots
Before overseeing any operations, our pilots complete FAA-approved training so they're ready to make important safety decisions about local weather and air traffic.
How Wing Drone Delivery Works
Wing uses intelligent flight planning to chart the safest route, avoiding obstacles and restricted airspace.
Contingency planning
Much like a car pulling over in response to a dashboard warning, our drones are programmed to take safety measures if a mission cannot be completed as planned.
Contingency Actions: The drone can abort the delivery and return to the nest or carry out what’s called a contingency landing, or a slow, controlled landing.
Preferred Landing Zones: During a contingency landing, Wing’s drones are designed to aim for areas less likely to have people or traffic, such as trees or fields.
Rapid Recovery: Wing personnel are immediately dispatched to recover any drone that performs a contingency landing.
Found Drones: If you locate a Wing drone that has performed a contingency landing, call +1-650-946-1669 immediately. Please do not touch the aircraft unless you are an emergency responder.
Advancing the modern airspace
Industry-first permissions
Wing leads the industry in flight permissions and regulatory compliance, holding a Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate from the FAA, a standard similar to those required for cargo airliners. Wing was one of the first operators approved for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights, allowing for expanded service area while maintaining safety.
Sharing the airspace
We use Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) to share the skies with fellow drone operators and ADS-B technology, the aviation standard for location communication, to detect and avoid traditional aircraft. Wing operates across major U.S. metros, and issues Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs) for all locations with operating areas and hours.
Drone as First Responder
Wing works closely with Drone as First Responder (DFR) agencies across all of our operating areas. Wing yields to DFR drone activity when we are aware of the operations, either autonomously through UTM or via manual coordination. If your department uses drones, please reach out to airspaceoutreach@wing.com to coordinate integration and discuss UTM.
Contact us
For a found drone please call the phone number on the aircraft. We value community feedback and are happy to address any questions regarding our operations.
