Amazon is not the only web giant to focus on the delivery drones. Google was also something in stock.
Google certainly already has a certain level of familiarity with the drones. But until now, we thought that the Mountain View company was interested in these technologies for UAVs called "atmospheric satellite" , capable of flying at high altitude for months and can be used to make maps or even connect remote locations to the Internet.

But in truth, the lab Google X realized other experiments. This time, the aim is indeed to deliver packages with drones.

Remember. The previous year, Amazon unveiled Amazon Prime Air , his project that he hopes will one day deliver the products ordered on the internet with drones.
Currently, Amazon is still developing its drones and thereby face obstacles regulatory in the US.
According to the latest rumors (unconfirmed), Amazon could even achieve its tests in India if the US does not allow the regulator to achieve them outdoors in the USA.
Finally, if you believe the video below and an article in the Atlantic, Google also plans to deliver packages by drone.
The difference is that the Mountain View company has chosen Australia, where regulation seems more lenient vis-Ã -vis flight drones to carry out its tests.
Furthermore, the drone that we see on the video is quite special. Indeed, it is a hybrid between aircraft (speed and endurance) and helicopter (VTOL). The project name is "Wing".
