Until now, if you wanted to order an almost 9-pound restaurant meal by drone delivery, you\u2019d look up in your back yard to see not one but two drones buzzing toward you. But now Flytrex\u2014an Israel-based drone food delivery service that\u2019s operated in North Texas since 2022\u2014has launched a game-changing new drone that can handle that order all by itself.<\/p>\n
Flytrex says its new Sky2 drone can carry up to 8.8 pounds\u2014\u201dthe largest carrying capacity of any food delivery drone available today.\u201d With a range of up to four miles and support for remote pickups directly from restaurant locations, orders are \u201ccollected faster and arrive hotter,\u201d Flytrex said, arriving in an average of 4 and a half minutes from takeoff to delivery.<\/p>\n
The drone\u2019s extended 4-mile delivery radius means it can reach more customers across suburban communities than ever before, Flytrex added.<\/p>\n
Flytrex\u2014which was co-founded by the a leader of Israel\u2019s SpaceIL, part of the team behind the 2019 Beresheet moon mission<\/a>\u2014first launched its drone deliveries in North Texas in 2022 from a Chili\u2019s location in Granbury<\/a>,\u00a0 The company has since expanded drone food deliveries to Frisco, Little Elm, and Wylie.\u00a0<\/p>\n Partnering with Little Caesars<\/p>\n Flytrex is partnering with Little Caesars to launch the Sky2 service locally\u2014but for now the delivery area is limited to a Little Caesars location in Wylie, a suburb northeast of Dallas.<\/p>\n Flytrex said its Sky2 drone enables customers to receive two large pizzas and sodas in a single drone delivery\u2014\u201da first for on-demand food delivery by air.\u201d An order can include two large pizzas plus Little Caesars\u2019 Crazy Puffs, Crazy Bread, and 20-ounce drinks, all delivered together.

The Sky2 changes that.
