Google “Project Wing” drone delivery taking flight in 2017 - SlashGear
'Despite growing concerns over safety, privacy, and legality of drones, it seems that Google will still be pushing through with a drone-powered service of its own in two years' time. After all, since when did similar concerns stop Google from pushing through with its completely autonomous self-driving cars? Apparently, Google plans to commercially launch its drone delivery service, currently codenamed "Project Wing" by 2017. That is according to David Vos, and he should know, since he's the current project leader for the rather surprising venture from Google.'

‘Project Wing’ is Google’s plan for same-day drone delivery - SlashGear
'... Project Wing is believed to be Google’s delivery drone program, conceived and tested at Google’s X Labs in Mountain View. This drone program has reportedly been in the works for two years, with test flights happening in Australia due to that country’s more relaxed view on unmanned aircraft.
The drone delivery system is designed to bring packages right to you. Flying vertically as well as horizontally, each drone is outfitted with a zip-line for your package. Once overhead, it drops the package, slowing the delivery as it nears the ground. It’s as if your package is rappelling down to the ground next to you. The package container rescinds back to the drone when your package is left, and away it goes.
