For dropping stuff in remote locations. Just don't mention the war in Ukraine, where DJI kit repeatedly appeared
Chinese drone-maker DJI, the subject of US sanctions, has released its first consumer cargo carrying drone – the FlyCart 30.
The all-weather $17,000 drone has four axes, eight carbon fiber propellers, and when equipped with a pair of self-heating batteries can can carry as much as 30kg over a distance of 16km. With no cargo and both batteries, it can fly 28km. The drone incorporates two batteries for resilience, but removing one allows it to carry 40kg of weight and hit a top speed of 20 meters per second.
The container holds objects up to 70 liters of volume and, according to DJI, can be disassembled in under just three minutes. The cargo box also incorporates weight and center of gravity detection, to stabilize flight and ensure safety – for cargo and humans below. But for operators who'd rather drop a container than land, cable mode offers automated and manual methods of releasing an attached package at the end of the cable. The drone can drop 20 meters of line and haul up payloads weighing 40kg. It incorporates anti-swing technology to keep the package from flying about.
If the cargo at the end of the cable makes contact with the ground, the cable automatically releases the cargo. The mechanism acts both as a practical means of delivering goods and as an emergency release that allows the drone to escape in what DJI calls"extreme cases."
