DJI has made history by completing the first ever drone delivery of supplies to mountaineers on the sides of Mount Everest.
In collaboration with Nepalese Airlift, 8KRAW, and local guides, DJI has completed the world’s first drone delivery on Mount Everest.
This remarkable feat was achieved using DJI’s FlyCart 30, which has a maximum carrying capacity of 33 pounds . The drone needed to carry the load safely and under extreme conditions at high altitudes. On its return flight, the drone even carried trash back from Camp 1. The two camps are separated by the Khumbu Icefall, one of the ascent’s most perilous stages.“From the end of April, our team embarked on a groundbreaking endeavor to help make cleanup efforts on Everest safer and more efficient,” said Christina Zhang, Senior Corporate Strategy Director at DJI.
While very interesting in themselves, the recent tests also have important implications for safety on the mountain.
