Eligible households that have opted into\nthe service can order food via the Flytrex app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be soaring into the Lone Star State \u2013 an\noutsized achievement for ultrafast home delivery,\u201d said Yariv Bash, CEO and\ncofounder of Flytrex. \u201cAfter establishing drone delivery as a preferred option\nin North Carolina, we are excited to bring our unrivaled speed and convenience\nto Texas, where big things happen. We look forward to bringing drone delivery\nto backyards across the U.S. as we expand our service nationwide.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis launch follows a series of additional milestones for\nFlytrex. Most recently, the ultrafast drone delivery company received a waiver\nfrom the FAA enabling it to expand delivery service to 10,000 homes in cities\nacross North Carolina as North Carolina Department of Transportation\u2019s partner\nin the FAA\u2019s BEYOND program. Flytrex has been operating in the \u2018First in\nFlight\u2019 state since September 2020, beginning in Fayetteville, and expanding to\nthe town of Raeford. In October 2021, Flytrex launched its third drone delivery\nstation in North Carolina at the Holly Springs Towne Center, delivering food\norders from It\u2019s Just Wings\u00ae, to residents\u2019 front and backyards. Flytrex has\nalready completed thousands of drone deliveries \u2013 more deliveries via drone\nthan any other company in the U.S. \u2013 conducting all operations while\nmaintaining the highest safety standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs we continue to drive awareness and grow our virtual\nbrand, It\u2019s Just Wings, we continue to explore and leverage technology and\ninnovation,\u201d said Wade Allen, SVP, Innovation, Brinker International. \u201cWith a\nfocus on guest experience and convenience \u2013 alongside our killer wings \u2013 this\nnew outpost in partnership with Flytrex is another exciting step in the right\ndirection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Dallas-Fort Worth is often referred to as a\n\u201cmetroplex,\u201d Flytrex\u2019s focus is on the suburbs. Although there are roughly 80\nmillion homes in U.S. suburban areas, on-demand delivery has been largely seen\nas commercially unviable as traditional couriers are only able to make around\ntwo deliveries per hour in such areas. Flytrex is providing on-demand drone\ndelivery directly to consumers\u2019 homes in these underserved neighborhoods,\noffering a better, faster, more sustainable service at more affordable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since successfully launching the world\u2019s first fully autonomous urban drone delivery system in Reykjavik, Iceland in 2017, Flytrex has played an integral role in getting drone delivery off the ground. Flytrex is working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, a lead participant in the FAA\u2019s BEYOND program, tackling the remaining challenges of UAS integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
