Latest test caught on camera as company’s Project Wing morphs into new quadcopter drone shape for smooth package drop
Amazon isn’t the only company working on drone delivery, Google’s Project Wing aims to beat the retailer to the punch with a drone that will fly five miles in five minutes.
The drone has changed quite a lot since its initial unveiling, looking like a big fixed wing aircraft with propellers lining its edge. The design added flying speed, but was eventually deemed unfeasible for delivery operations. The latest test drone takes a more conventional quadcopter shape with added aerofoils.
