Wing
Adam Woodworth
Overview
Wing is a drone-delivery company launched from Google's X in 2012 that is scaling small-package logistics in dense residential areas. It has completed more than 750,000 residential deliveries and built a service area covering more than 2 million customers across major U.S. metros including Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Houston. Wing partners with Walmart and DoorDash to deliver groceries, meals, household essentials, and other urgent local orders in minutes, and it is preparing to bring residential service to the Bay Area.
Main Products
Wing's autonomous delivery aircraft is designed for short-haul local logistics: it picks up packages from merchant stations, cruises above streets and obstacles, then lowers the order on a tether into a small delivery zone. The system is highly automated, with pilots overseeing multiple flights from remote operations centers rather than manually flying each aircraft.
Commercially active across multiple U.S. cities, with the same core aircraft continuing to anchor Wing's residential delivery network.
Wing's merchant-side stack combines lightweight pickup hardware with software integrations so retailers, restaurants, and healthcare providers can add drone delivery inside their existing ordering workflows.
Actively used by retail, restaurant, and healthcare partners as Wing scales market launches without requiring heavy site buildouts.
