工作原理
Wing’s drones operate under Part 135 authorization in the U.S. They are equipped with vertical lift and cruise motors that power propellers for those respective phases of flight.
In addition to delivery-friendly items such as canned goods, the drones can transport refrigerated items like guacamole or raw meat, breakables such as eggs, and over-the-counter medications.
