There is great news from the world of drones<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In what\u2019s sure to be a college student\u2019s dream come true, drones will soon be delivering burritos on the campus of Virginia Tech.<\/p>\n

The experimental service, to begin this month and last just a few weeks, is a test by Project Wing, a unit of Google\u2019s parent company Alphabet Inc. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and the Blacksburg, Virginia, university have agreed to participate.
…<\/b>
Project Wing will use self-guided hybrids that can fly like a plane or hover like a helicopter. They will make deliveries from a Chipotle food truck to assess the accuracy of navigation systems and how people respond.<\/p>\n

The devices will hover overhead and lower the Chipotle edibles with a winch.<\/p>\n

Part of the experiment will be to see how well the packaging protects the chow and keeps it warm. Food was selected as the demonstration cargo because it\u2019s a challenge. The company is already at work on a more sophisticated second version of the aircraft that won\u2019t be used in the tests, Vos said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
