Wing Plans Up to $125 Million for Fort Worth Drone Manufacturing

Wing, Alphabet’s drone delivery unit, plans to invest up to $125 million in direct manufacturing at its Fort Worth, Texas, facility over the next two years, expanding its U.S. production capacity as it grows its delivery service. The company announced the plan Friday, Nov. 6.

The 15,000-square-foot facility could produce tens of thousands of aircraft a year and support up to 100 manufacturing jobs. The annual production figure describes the site’s capacity, not a stated output target.

Wing also plans spending on research and engineering in California and on the communities it serves. No amounts were specified for those efforts. As of Nov. 6, Wing operated from more than 70 sites and had completed more than one million U.S. home deliveries in 2026. Its goal is to reach more than 40 million Americans across nearly 20 U.S. markets by 2027.

Walmart drone deliveries began in Memphis on Tuesday, Nov. 10, marking Wing’s first service in Tennessee. The Memphis service covers two Walmart locations and is expected to reach tens of thousands of nearby homes, with deliveries in as fast as 30 minutes.

“The U.S. is our focus for growth,” Wing CEO Adam Woodworth said.
