Above is an actual image of drones freed in the sky of Virginia Tech. Yesterday was the first update on drone delivery testing, although it started on September 13, 2016. It made ten deliveries within 30 minutes simultaneously.
Sky Is The Limit For Project Wing
Taking the idiom "Sky is the limit" seriously, Google X made these drones to take its way to the air field to fulfill a futuristic vision. Our lands are completely clogged by vehicles which in certain countries are causing huge problems. In line with this, the ozone layer is getting thinner with the greenhouse emissions from factories, cars, and other pollutants.
Delivering either or both household necessities or emergency medicines is Project Wing's vision. The sky is readily available for access so why not take advantage of it. Numerous benefits could be achieved with Project Wing. This automated aircraft can aid in decongesting the roads, faster delivery of goods from Ebay or Amazon, saving lives in emergency situations, and reaching places that even a 4x4 automobile can't do.
The Blueprint of The Future in Virginia Tech
Project Wing plane first flight was in Queensland, Australia last August 28, 2014 that delivered water, first aid kit, dog treats, and candy bars to farmers. It was a successful mission that paved the way to a smooth transition to food delivery test in the fields of Virginia Tech.
The Federal Aviation Administration approved Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University or Viginia Tech for their Unnamed Aircracft System (UAS) test site program making it the backbone for Project Wing's next flight.
Project Wing is Google's blueprint for futuristic automated aircrafts under "X"; which is a top-secret research facility under its parent company, Alphabet Inc.
THE BURRITO
Google X and Alphabet Inc, partnered with Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. as one of the most popular American fast food restautants known for its tacos and burritos. McDonald's Corporation is its major investor.
From our favorite American fast food's menu, burrito is the lucky one to be chosen to try the aerial travel. It's lighter than a pizza not to pull the device down but just enough weight to be transported with the complete package. The challenge is to deliver the burrito warm and intact in minutes.
The Drone Trend
From its first CIA flight (Afghanistan, 2000) to modern day aerial photography, and now food transportation, drones could be game changer in the business sector. It can be a new marketing strategy in replacing trucks that could effectively decongest traffic and pollution.
