alphabet wing announced Wednesday that it is expanding its partnership with DoorDash to bring drone delivery to customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Area customers will now be able to order food from 50 merchants located at Stonebriar Center in Frisco and Hulen Mall in Fort Worth.
Wing says its drones can “deliver items and meals to your doorstep in as little as 15 minutes.” The drones can cruise to the customer’s residence at a speed of 65 mph and a cruising altitude of about 150 feet.
When customers with an eligible Dallas-Fort Worth address go to place an order on the DoorDash app, they will now see the option to have their food delivered via drone. You can check if you have an eligible address at wing website. Wing notes that smaller orders are more likely to be eligible for drone delivery and that your order may be delivered by more than one drone if all your items won’t fit on one.
Wing and DoorDash launched their drone delivery pilot program in the U.S. in March, giving customers in Christiansburg, Virginia, the option to order food from their local Wendy’s. Wing has been operating in the US since 2019.
DoorDash first partnered with Wing in 2022, when the two companies launched drone deliveries in Australia. Wing has completed more than 400,000 commercial deliveries worldwide.
“Wing’s partnership with DoorDash is guided by the shared goal of providing customers with the convenience and speed of air deliveries of the local products and brands they know and love,” the company wrote in a Press release.
It’s worth noting that Wing also has drone delivery partnerships with other companies in the US, including Walmart and Walgreens.
