Wing LLC is a subsidiary of Alphabet, Google's parent company.Google's parent company, dedicated to the development of drones for product deliveries, and has accumulated hundreds of thousands of delivery hours with a drone model, the Hummingbird, operating in Dallas and in cities in Australia y Finland and is capable of carrying loads of just under one kilogram. In mid-July, Wing unveiled its strategic vision for moving forward with its drone delivery solutions: a "library" of flying devices.

Wing understands that the delivery business is very diverse, and therefore must have different types of must have different types of devices to make the job efficient. The solution is to have a broad menu of components - all based on the Hummingbird - so that its engineers can quickly design a model to fit the needs. The company presented two examples. One is a very small drone for delivering small packages, such as a medicine bottle. The other is designed to carry packages weighing up to almost 3 kilograms.

The basic principle is efficiency. The most efficient ratio in the case of drones such as Wing's is that cargo accounts for about 25% of the drone's mass. In the case of automobiles - the most widely used means of package delivery in the U.S. - the payload often represents only 0.1% of the vehicle's mass.

Wing has several types of adaptations in mind, from drones to deliver small packages in densely populated areas, to long-range drones for logistics flights.from drones to deliver small packages in densely populated areas, to long-range drones for logistics flights.
