Google has completed initial trials in Australia using an unmanned aircraft to deliver goods and will continue research with the goal of developing a delivery service. Amazon, meanwhile, has petitioned the FAA to allow outdoor research and development testing for its Amazon Prime Air package delivery service using unmanned aircraft. The Google X research team has been working on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) delivery concept since July 2012, when Nick Roy joined from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to lead the effort, called Project Wing.
Efforts by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to restage the drop test of a low-boom supersonic aircraft model have been called off because of weather at the test range in northern Sweden. The month-long window for the D-Send 2 drop test at the Esrange Space Center closed on Aug. 22. “As meteorological conditions were not ideal, JAXA was not able to carry out the test flight within the test window period,” the agency says.
