To meet fast-growing customer demand for drone delivery, our constant focus is on scaling operations and making integration as simple as possible for retail partners. Wing has already announced developments in 2024, with an expansion to additional Walmart stores across the Dallas-Fort Worth area and a new aircraft that can carry additional weight added to our fleet.

Over the past few years, we’ve been working hard to show what a scaled-up drone delivery system will look like. We’ve demonstrated a service that delivers upwards of 1,000 packages a day – or roughly one every 25 seconds. Earlier this year, we unveiled the Wing Delivery Network – our next generation operational model which is designed to enable high-volume drone delivery across major metro areas and will enable Wing to support millions of deliveries in the coming years. And just recently, we announced a partnership with Walmart that represents our largest expansion to date in the U.S. – bringing our service within reach of 60,000 people in the Dallas area.

As we take another step toward scale, we’re excited to share two key appointments to the Wing leadership team.

We’re excited to announce that longtime chief technology officer Adam Woodworth has been appointed Wing’s new CEO. Adam joined Wing in 2014, and has overseen our largest organization–running product, technology and engineering–for the past four years. 

This week is the FAA’s Drone Safety Awareness Week, and we’d like to honor all of the aviation enthusiasts, hobbyists, pilots, and tinkerers who share a passion for drones and the potential for them to transform the world around us for the better.

Welcome to the latest installment of From the Crew These are stories from the team at Wing highlighting how they got to Wing, what their roles are like and even some tips they learned along the way.

Today’s post is all about Margaret Nagle, a White House veteran who’s now the Head  of Government Affairs & Public Policy at Wing. (If you're interested in learning more about Wing culture, job opportunities, and more to help your job search like Margaret did, you can read more at wing.com/careers.)

News cameras jostled for position as Christiansburg local Todd Joyce used the Wing app to order popcorn and chocolates on October 18, 2019. He made history when he pressed the order button, becoming one of the first in the United States to use a residential drone delivery service. The scene was mirrored at two other homes that day, as the Sensemeier family and the Passek-Collvers joined the Joyces, simultaneously placing three orders to kick off Wing’s first-of-its-kind trial in Virginia. Once the orders were placed, everyone looked up.

Every time our team watches a Wing drone lift off and fly away from one of our sites around the world it represents one less trip to the store, one car taken off the road, and a small reduction in carbon emissions released into the atmosphere.
