Positioning

Wing (Alphabet) operates what it claims is the largest US retail drone-delivery network (under-2.5 lb packages, a 6-8 mile radius, ~30-minute windows), expanding with Walmart (+150 stores across four more cities, January 2026) and into Central Florida (July 2026). Its DoorDash partner obtained its own FAA Part 135 certificate in July 2026, making it both a partner and an emerging competitor. Revenue is not broken out of Alphabet (estimated <25m).
