Despite the flurry of innovation taking place within the nascent drone delivery industry, there’s one area the vast majority of drone firms wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole: cities.
Simply put, drone logistics are more challenging in urban environments. How will they avoid not just people but also tall buildings? How will they pick up orders from stores in densely packed city centers? And most importantly, where will they land?
That’s why, until now, drones have found most of their success in ru...
The drone delivery industry, just like the unmanned aircraft that power it, is currently flying well below the stratosphere.
Among the drone firms that have made their 2022 delivery figures public, none eclipsed more than a few thousand deliveries, mainly owing to the Federal Aviation Administration’s stringent regulations around the young industry.
Those rules, designed to ensure the safety and privacy of the public, have limited commercial drone delivery operations to a handful of companies...
Just as Amazon Prime Air drone delivery was beginning to gather momentum, the service reportedly was hit with another key setback.

The world’s largest retailer on Thursday released an assortment of statistics about its drone delivery network in 2022, revealing that it completed over 6,000 deliveries of items from ice cream to rotisserie...

Standard delivery, scheduled delivery, pickup … and drone delivery?
Most food delivery apps only offer those first three options. But DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) on Monday launched a pilot of on-demand drone delivery in Logan, Australia, with Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary Wing, which has been operating in the Brisbane suburb since 2019.
It’s the first time the drone delivery provider has made its service available via a third-party app.

PHILADELPHIA — Delivery in an e-commerce world is no longer cut and dried. In the early days, if a package, regardless of how big it was, needed last-mile delivery, a truck or van made it.
Today, there are options. Cars, trucks, vans, robots and drones are some of the vehicle types that are making these important deliveries.
“Here at Wing we spend a lot of time thinking about how to move packages through the sky,” wrote Adam Woodworth, chief technology officer for drone delivery provider Wing, in...

You most likely wouldn’t use a sedan to carry a ton of gravel, nor would you enlist a flatbed truck to carry a single television set.
For the most part, the transportation industry has solved the problem of matching the vehicle to the cargo for traditional modes like ocean shipping and trucking. But emerging modes, like drone delivery, are still working out the kinks.
Wing, the drone delivery arm of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), has been at the drawing board. The firm on Thursday unveiled the Aircraf...
