“What we’ve done is started to spin up that development flywheel of building out different aircraft configurations that we bring to sort of like an advanced prototype level,” he told me. “If you think about all those elements as like construction bricks, we’ve happened to build them in this shape of a plane, but we could disassemble that and put them all back together and make it look like a rocket ship or, you know, make it look like a steamboat.
Ultimately, Wing will be able to pull out different mostly-finished designs from its library and get them up and running in a very short time when the need arises, Woodworth says. “The infrastructure has to be sort of similarly simple and similarly modular to enable these sorts of futures,” Woodworth says. “If you look at some of our more recent deployments in Australia, we put our nests on the roof of a shopping center.
