DoorDash Air Drone

Purpose-built six-propeller delivery aircraft unveiled September 30, 2026 at DoorDash's Dash Forward event: orders are lowered on a winch to the delivery spot, and DoorDash says roughly 80% of typical US restaurant orders fit within its size and weight limits. Initial tests averaged under 5 minutes restaurant-to-door. Dispatch runs through DoorDash's Autonomous Delivery Platform alongside Dashers and the Dot sidewalk robot. FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate earned July 29, 2026; pilots start in Northern California with Chipotle, Popeyes, and Momo N Curry. No published payload figure. Designed around delivery — restaurant drone delivery, winch drop. As a US-made platform, DoorDash Air Drone faces no restrictions under the FCC Covered List ruling — relevant for American buyers comparing options.
