四螺旋桨无人机。。。。长三角地区城内小包专送?这个邮费商家不知道给不给包Chinese Drone Delivery Service launched
Tuesday, March 31st, 2015
Chinese logistics company S.F. Express has begun using small drones to deliver packages to remote and mountainous areas in south China, reports the IT Times.
S.F. Express currently operates 500 flights on a daily basis around the Pearl River Delta, the heartland of China’s manufacturing industry, the IT Times reported.
S.F. Express has teamed up with domestic drone maker Xaircraft in testing delivery drones since 2013. Details of the drones used by S.F. Express are not available at the moment. But according to the website of Xaircraft, its delivery drones can carry loads up to 10 kilograms (353 oz), with a maximum range of 20 kilometers (12 miles).
Prior to each flight, a worker needs to place the drone in a designated spot. Destination and route information is preprogramed, and the drone can fly on its own. Xaircraft’s founder Peng Bin told the IT Times that he considered drone delivery to be still in its infancy, and compared with urban areas, it made more sense to deliver packages to remote areas where human workers have difficulty to access.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of China (AOPA) is leading an initiative to finalize regulations on flying commercial drones in China. The AOPA is also in charge of training drone pilots and issuing licenses to them. Ke Yubao, Executive Secretary-General of the AOPA, told the IT Times that the upcoming regulations would only allow licensed drone pilots to operate commercial drones.
As of the end of 2014, China had 244 drone pilots with AOPA licenses.

Simple: Goods are loaded onto the drone by a courier, the delivery address is scanned and the aircraft then flies to the destination
The mail company, together with the firm XAircraft, began experimenting with drone deliveries in Dongguan, southern China in 2013.
Peng Bing, the founder of XAircraft, said: 'At present there are 500 drones carrying out courier work in Shenzhen and Huizhou.
'The entire drone operation will reach several thousand units very soon.'
Goods are loaded onto the drone by a courier, the delivery address is scanned and the aircraft then flies to the destination.
The courier at the location prepares a good landing area and when the drone arrives, the parcel is scanned once again and the aircraft returns to its base automatically.
S.F. Express is currently delivering parcels with drones in southern and eastern China, including areas like Huizhou, Zhongshan, Hangzhou and Jiaxing where demands for same-day couriers are high. The Shenzhen-based company is hoping to expand the service to remote villages, farms and mountain ranges.

There is very little human interaction with the drones and the work is carried out in cooperation with the Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority.

话说amazon已经试过了can confirm!

I like it, hope Wuhan will have these. Sometimes I feel really perturbed when they telephone me at 9am at weekendscan confirm!
my family's community applied this model 速递通, incredibly convenient and efficient indeed!



I really dont like the possible uses of the courier drones. Strap explosives on it and use it as a suicide bomber who doesn't have to commit suicide.
One crazy bastard with twelve drones could hit a dozen places at once and never get caught.
