DJI Technology, a Chinese-based tech company, announced the successful completion of the world's first delivery drone trials on Mount Everest.
A Chinese-based technology company said it has successfully carried out the world's first delivery drone trials on Mount Everest in Nepal.DJI Technology said it teamed up with Nepalese drone service company Airlift, video production company 8KRAW, and Nepalese certified mountain guide Mingma Gyalje Sherpa to achieve the accomplishment back in April. The drone, DJI FlyCart 30, can carry 15kg payloads even in the extreme altitude and environmental conditions of the mountain.
"We are thrilled to share that our DJI FlyCart 30 was up to the task. The ability to safely transport equipment, supplies, and waste by drone has the potential to revolutionize Everest mountaineering logistics, facilitate trash cleanup efforts, and improve safety for all involved."Though helicopters can make the same journey, they're often not used due to the dangers and costs. The company said Sherpa guides were usually responsible for delivering supplies and cleaning trash.
