A Flytrex drone lowers a meal in a bright yellow bag.
Flytrex has taken to the skies over Wylie, making it the third Texas city where the drone company is ferrying meals by air. After earlier rollouts in Granbury and Little Elm, the service began local operations two months ago, dispatching food from its hub near FM 544 and State Highway 78 to homes and businesses within a few miles of downtown.
Field marketing manager Brian Lamb said the drones are already making dozens of deliveries a day across the city. “We serve about a one-mile radius for the restaurants,” Lamb said, “but for the deliveries, that’s about a two-and-a-half-mile radius, almost four miles round trip. So you could be two miles from the launch point and still get served.”
The drones fly at roughly 250 feet and cruise at just over 30 miles per hour, Lamb said.
