Google X is the department deals with the development rather unusual projects such as Google Glass, alone recoiling cars or balloon design Loon, providing Wi-Fi connectivity to hard to reach areas of the world . Yesterday it turned out that for a long time going there also work on Wing Project (Project Wing). It is about providing drones shipping.
As the demonstration tests conducted in Australia, drone Google is already pretty well polished device equipped among other things with a special sensor (the so-called. Egg), wyhamowujący lowering shipping on lines just above the ground. The most interesting, however, was the same look drone. Instead of the typical quadro or octokoptera, Google designers used a machine-starter and a flying like a helicopter, but overcomes the longer distances, like an ordinary plane. 1.5 meter wingspan, four propeller, cruising altitude of 60 meters. I must admit that it looks really impressive.
Does this mean that Google will soon present to the world a new service – quick delivery of parcels with the help of small, flying courier? Well, the road to that for sure is still very far away, but in the context of the other achievements of the company, such as autonomous vehicles, advanced maps and navigation, and even the glasses Glass, you can venture to say that if anyone has this project go, the closest is to just Google.
