This team, called Project Wing, consisted of a combination of researchers, business strategy experts, engineers, and developers. An early goal for the team was to deliver defibrillator kits to heart attack victims. For the first year of the team's work, members worked on a design for a delivery drone. They didn't want the drones to have to land on the ground and then have to use a lot of power to get back into the air, so they tried to figure out a way to deliver packages while the drones hovered in the air.

It turns out this was no easy task. They had thought that packages could be lowered to the ground by a cord that would unspool from the drone while it hovered. The problem was that every package seemed to need its own system. They tried numerous other designs that didn't work until finally they came up with a system involving hooks.

Another challenge for Project Wing was air traffic management. The team initially worked on building each drone its own path in the sky from its launch to its destination. Sounds good if only Project Wing drones were in the sky, but what about airplanes? Members of Project Wing had to work closely with regulators as well as competitors to avoid crashes with other "flying objects." This kind of relationship building was not something in which project employees had experience.792

For the first test launches, bottled water and batteries were delivered to farmers in Australia. By Fall 2017, drones were making deliveries to homes in rural Australia where people otherwise had to drive long distances to buy groceries. Using an app, customers could order products from a pharmacy company, or they could order burritos from a restaurant called Guzman y Gomez. In 2018, Project Wing drones were working on deliveries in more densely populated areas.

The project team reached a milestone in July 2018. They "graduated" from being a team within X to being an independent business owned by Alphabet.793
