With the public announcement of Project Wing, a two-year-old secret project, delivery by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) came that much closer to reality. During test runs in Australia, prototype drones flew like planes for over half a mile, and then hovered like helicopters to drop off packages of dog treats and other items. By having deliveries lowered by cable, Google X plans to keep its vehicles out of reach, protecting both machines and bystanders. Eventually, the company may design a variety of UAVs capable of delivering different payloads.
