cctv news crossing dense forests, crossing swamps, crossing rivers... recently, in the arctic region of the motherland, a drone carrying postal express mail took off steadily, flew 20 kilometers, and successfully delivered the mail to the destination, successfully completing the delivery test mission.
in order to actively respond to the national low-altitude economic development strategy, heilongjiang postal branch and daxing'anling postal branch jointly explored the deepening of drone logistics and distribution scenarios and launched the "china post drone polar test" activity. the activity received strong support from the local government, heilongjiang post yitong information network company, heilongjiang low-altitude economic safety industry technology innovation alliance, and the harbin new area joint branch of the china peasants and workers democratic party.
the test flight route was set in the greater khingan range area, from jianan village to shuanghe village to dongshan village. the average altitude here is between 1,000 and 1,400 meters. most of the area is virgin forest and sparsely populated. drones flying here need to cross complex terrains such as dense forests, swamps, and rivers. the drones tested this time use vertical take-off and landing. during the flight, the drones can autonomously complete functions such as obstacle avoidance, hovering, and positioning. during the test, the drones flew a distance of 20 kilometers, a flight altitude of 120 meters, a flight speed of 15 meters per second, and a maximum weight of 10 kilograms for delivery.
the success of this drone delivery test will provide strong support for heilongjiang postal branch to further improve the quality of postal services in remote and complex terrain areas, solve the problems of difficulty in receiving mail and transporting agricultural products in remote areas, and provide strong basic data for drone delivery. in the future, heilongjiang postal branch will continue to respond to the national low-altitude economic development strategy, extend drone transportation services to more work systems such as government emergency rescue, and effectively maximize social benefits.
