Flite Test | Google Project Wing

Josh and Alex talk with one of the pilots of the Google Project Wing (Delivery Drone) Prototype and learn more about it!
More details:

Check out our version of a "Delivery Drone" that we came up with using the Kraken!

Thanks for watching!

Team Flite Test vs Team Google?    My money is on the guys that can make a plane out of a cinder block!

I love the design of this tail-sitter and am glad they figured out the challenges of transitional flight - good work, nice design, well done. Thanks for this video.

I like Aaron, he seems like a nice guy and not to cocky unlike some other company reps :)

What I worry about with these commercial 'RC' aircraft is that when/if they all go full swing and start having these everywhere, dropping parcels to peoples houses, they probably will take priority over hobbyists RC flying. That is to say that RC may be outlawed near anywhere with a building or flight path of these planes. They may ban our RC planes flying in most areas apart from special designated zones, probably in the middle of nowhere - which would suck!

flite test is kinda my dad when it comes to rc. I asked my dad a question about push rods and his mind went blank. I'm twelve and I know more about rc then he does! That's because of flite test. you guys are awesome.

Would be great if you could get some of these Google guys on the show

[Henni]

Please do more episodes like the "Let´s Flys", the old episodes with David were awesome! :)

[BMSWEB]

Awesome Episode guys. Its a very interesting project Google have going

There are a number of technical problems associated with drone delivery. First: You have a very limited range and a limited number of warehouses, so only homes and business within a certain radius (5-10 miles) will be drone delivery eligible. Second: Only small, light packages can realistically be delivered this way. Third: Customers who live in apartment complexes may be excluded from delivery, as there may not be an appropriate location to safely drop the package. Fourth: There are going to be a lot of accidents, especially in the early stages of development, so there may be public opposition when some of these drones start crashing through people's windows.

Hey guys, as always. You guys are terrific!

[yellowbluerc]

I love just what kind of cheap antenna`s they use, i know this is a prototype but still they said they flew it in Aus well put the best things on there and see the range.

In the near future, there may be allocated airspace for drones and also real large commercial aircrafts. Whoever flying drones are then restricted only to the drones airspace. We may have layers of airspace depending on the types of drones used and for what purposes. How does that sounds?

[yakx]

The FAA seems to have a history of squashing new aviation segments that are popular. For example, ultralights, gyrocopters and powered parachutes all became very popular only to become nearly unheard of after new regulations were placed on them by the FAA. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to hobby drones and FPV.

[stephentayler]

you got Josh S now you just need David
love those guys

[blueline]

I think its a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. Package delivery is already very efficient in the U. S. .

[rcfunfly]

Cooles Projekt. Bin gespannt wie es weiter geht. 😜

2:29 Look at the kid to the right hahahahaha lol

[wyatthurst]

Hey guys! my name is Wyatt I am in love with your planes that you have designed, even though I don't own one. I have noticed that you guys take our input as your viewers and I was wondering if you guys could design a "Swap-able" Tri-Plane. I think it would definitely be a challenge for all of you at flight test, but it would definitely be interesting to see one fly. Also, thank you for making all of your videos. I have enjoyed them so much. -Wyatt Hurst

Flite test you should review the Hobbyzone Stratocam!
