Alphabet-Owned Company Expands Domestic Production Capacity
Wing, an Alphabet-owned company, has announced a $125 million investment in US drone manufacturing over the next two years. The investment will go towards a new 15,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, which will produce tens of thousands of next-generation aircraft annually. The move is seen as a critical milestone for commercial drone logistics, as companies move away from boutique batch production and into high-volume aerospace assembly. According to the company, this investment will support its goal of expanding its footprint across nearly 20 US markets and putting drone delivery within reach of 40 million Americans within the next two years, as reported by The Drone Girl.
