Wing, a part of Alphabet that began as a Google X project, has become the first drone-delivery company to receive a critical Federal Aviation Administration certification
Wing was granted an air carrier certification, which clears it to make commercial deliveries in the United States. The company said in a Medium post Tuesday that it's aiming to launch a delivery trial later this year. A Wing spokeswoman declined to say how many people would be served by the trial, how many drones will be involved, or what kind of goods would be delivered.

Wing previously trialed burrito delivery on Virginia Tech's campus in Blacksburg.
