顺丰获准使用无人机送快件
The major Chinese logistics company SF Express has been given the legal go-ahead for drone package deliveries, the first company to receive official permission for such a service, reports thepaper.cn.
澎湃新闻报道，顺丰速运已获准使用无人机运送包裹，这是国内首家获政府认可使用无人机送货的公司。
The company can now deliver packages in its logistics demonstration area covering five villages and towns in Nankang District, Ganzhou City of Jiangxi Province.
After a package is loaded onto the drone, the route information is programmed in, and the UAV will make the delivery by itself.
SF Express teamed up with domestic drone maker Xaircraft in 2013 to test Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAVs.
It's reported that SF Express has developed a variety of drone models, for different business scenarios, which can carry loads of up to 5-25 kg, with a maximum range of 15-100 km.
