Listen, I’m normally averse to publishing company stats. So it’s with a little trepidation that I post this infographic showcasing Flytrex’s 2021 drone delivery highlights… that Flytrex sent to me.

Ugh.

The reason I’m making an exception is that drone food delivery is a very new, not even fully formed industry yet. While these stats are self-serving, they also serve as a window into how early adopters are using the service. Of course, this data is from a very limited sample size. Throughout 2021, Flytrex mainly operated out of one city in North Carolina, though it has since expanded to three cities in that state, as well as a pilot with El Pollo Loco Orange County, California.

Regardless, getting your food delivered in 1.42 minutes is—really, really fast.
