Students in the American state of Virginia will soon be able to order burritos carried by unmanned aircraft. The food delivery service is starting at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. This will be one of the first tests of a commercial drone delivery service in the United States. Virginia Tech’s Project Wing is partnering with the restaurant company Chipotle Mexican Grill on the experiment. Project Wing is part of X, a laboratory once known as Google X. It researches and tests unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as drones. The lab studies the use of drones to transport food, medicine and other goods. After the students place their order, the burritos will be made at a food truck and loaded onto a drone. The aircraft will fly the burritos to a pickup area, then lower them to the ground.
