A major breakthrough to stalled bodies on Mt. Everest hiking trail. China has “successfully” completed the first-ever drone delivery tests on Mt. Everest, the world’s highest mountain, from the Nepali side. DJI, in partnership with Nepalese Airlift, 8KRAW, and local guides, has achieved the world’s first drone delivery on Mount Everest. This April test demonstrated the potential for drones to quickly and safely deliver supplies to mountaineers. This achievement was made using DJI’s FlyCart 30, which can carry up to 33 pounds (15 kg). The drone successfully operated under extreme high-altitude conditions. During the tests, the FlyCart 30 carried three oxygen bottles and 1.5 kg of other supplies from Everest Base Camp (17,389 feet) to Camp 1 (19,685 feet). On the return flight, it brought back trash from Camp 1. The drone navigated the dangerous Khumbu Icefall, one of the most perilous sections of the ascent.

DJI Completes World's First Drone Delivery Tests on Mount Everest in Nepal and started to collect trash! DJI has teamed up with Nepalese drone service company Airlift, video production company 8KRAW, and Nepalese certified mountain guide Mingma Gyalje Sherpa, to fly the world's first successful delivery drone trials on Mount Everest (Mount Qomolangma). This historic milestone in aviation highlights the impressive capabilities of DJI FlyCart 30, which can carry 15kg payloads even in the extreme altitude and environmental conditions of Mount Everest. During the tests, three oxygen bottles and 1.5kg of other supplies were flown from Everest Base Camp to Camp 1 (5,300-6,000m ASL). And trash was carried back down on the return trip. Each climber is estimated to leave 8kg of trash behind on Everest and, despite cleanup efforts, an estimated tonnes of waste remains on its slopes. If drone technology can ease this burden on cleanup crews, DJI is eager to help. DJI FlyCart 30 can efficiently transport garbage and human waste down the mountain, reducing the volume of trips Sherpas must make across the Khumbu Icefall. #Everest #Nepal #DJI #DJIDelivery #FlyCart30 #Himalaya #DronesHelp #Airlift

Have you ever envisioned the luxury of summoning a delivery service at an altitude of 6,000 meters? This is no longer a figment of imagination but a tangible reality, as cutting-edge drone technology makes its way to the towering realms of Mount Everest, transforming the delivery experience in the most elevated of locales. DJI has teamed up with Nepalese drone service company Airlift, video production company 8KRAW, and Nepalese certified mountain guide Mingma Gyalje Sherpa, to fly the world's first successful delivery drone trials on Mount Everest (Mount Qomolangma). During the tests, three oxygen bottles and 1.5kg of other supplies were flown from Everest Base Camp to Camp 1 (5,300-6,000m ASL). On the return trip trash was carried back down. For the first time, drones have successfully completed the round-trip transportation of equipment and trash between Everest Base Camp and Camp 1. These camps are separated by the Khumbu Icefall, one of the most perilous stages of the ascent. While helicopters can theoretically make the same journey, they are rarely used due to the significant dangers and costs. Traditionally, the responsibility of transporting supplies and clearing trash on Everest has fallen on the shoulders of local Sherpa guides who may need to cross the icefall over 30 times in a season to transport supplies such as oxygen bottles, gas canisters, tents, food, and ropes. The hazardous climb across the Khumbu Icefall typically happens at night when temperatures are lowest and the ice is most stable. An unmodified drone can carry 15kg between camps in 12 minutes for a round trip, day or night. These delivery drones aim to ease the burden on Sherpas, who repeatedly risk their lives navigating the treacherous Khumbu Icefall. #Delivery #Services #Highest #Peaks #World

Landing pads for your drone? In the winter, the seemingly innocent snow hides potential challenges. Tiny ice crystals can sneak into your drone's motors, and the reflective snow might play tricks on your aerial photos and crop radar readings. Even the lightest snow or ice can cause problems. The cold air makes your drone's propellers more fragile, and a snowy landing can bring unwanted moisture inside. That's why having a safe spot for take-off and landing is extra important in winter. Fly safe, fly smart, have fun and remember to stay warm! #rpas #alberta #dji #dronetech #flysafe

I Love Drones! 🚁. I know these shots have become way more used since 2010, but I am still so impressed that the average person has the power of film and flight in the palm of their hands. At Buck Wild Media we love enhancing our videos with cool drone shots any time of the year, which sometimes makes for some pretty interesting landing zones. If you ever want to easily create a Launch Pad Landing zone virtually anywhere during the winter in the snow just stomp it out Baby! Pack down a clear patch of snow to create a makeshift launch pad for your drone. Make sure it's flat, free of debris, and big enough for a safe landing.🥶. Be sure to stay as clear as possible from close by trees that can ruin your drone’s descent. Follow us for more video tips and tricks! ➡️ Buck Wild Media #dronevideo #dronelife #winterflying #improviseadaptovercome #gettotheshots #creativemarketing #contentmarketing #videomarketing #marketingstrategy

🚨 Prevent Drone Crashes with Proper Checklist Protocols 🚨 Drones are incredible tools, but they come with risks—especially when safety protocols are overlooked. One of the leading causes of drone crashes is failing to follow the Pre-Flight, In-Flight, and Post-Flight Checklists. Pre-Flight Checklist: Drone Assembly: Check weather the Arm Sleaves and the overall screws and the payload mounted properly or not. Calibration: Ensure your compass and IMU are properly calibrated. Battery Check: Verify all batteries are fully charged. Propeller Inspection: Check for damage or wear. Weather Conditions: Confirm safe flying conditions. In-Flight Checklist: Signal Monitoring: Keep an eye on GPS and signal strength. Battery Levels: Regularly monitor battery levels during the flight. Flight Path Awareness: Avoid obstacles and stay within the planned flight path. Post-Flight Checklist: Battery Management: Safely power down and remove batteries. Damage Inspection: Inspect the drone for any signs of wear or damage. Data Download: Retrieve and secure flight data for analysis. Neglecting these steps can lead to costly and dangerous drone crashes! Always adhere to the checklists to ensure a safe and successful mission. Let’s keep the skies safe—one checklist at a time! #flysafe #dronesafety #checkyourlist

Before you launch that drone into the sky, let’s talk about the essentials: equipment checks and weather conditions. These are the two pillars that can make or break your flight ❌ First up, equipment. Every piece of gear—whether it’s the propellers, battery, or remote—needs to be in full working order. A thorough pre-flight inspection isn’t just a box to tick; it’s the difference between a successful mission and a potential disaster. Then, there’s the weather. Even the most advanced drones are at the mercy of the elements. Wind, rain, or unexpected gusts can turn a smooth operation into a risky endeavor. Always check the forecast and be prepared to postpone if Mother Nature isn’t cooperating 🌬 Bottom line: Drones are powerful tools, but they need careful handling. Taking the time to ensure your equipment is ready and the skies are friendly is not just smart—it’s essential for a safe and successful flight ✅ #dronetechnology #safety #saudiarabia #safetyfirst

China has successfully completed the first-ever drone delivery tests on Mt. Everest, paving the way for improved high-altitude mountaineering, rescue, and environmental efforts. A DJI FlyCart 30 drone was used to transport oxygen bottles and supplies from Base Camp to Camp 1, while also collecting trash from the mountain. The drone demonstrated its capabilities by carrying 15kg of supplies in just 12 minutes, flying as high as 6,191.8m in the process. This achievement showcases the potential for drones to revolutionize logistics, clean-up, and safety on Mt. Everest. Following the success of these tests, a Nepali company plans to start drone operations on Everest from May 22. Additionally, there are plans to utilize drones on Mt. Ama Dablam, further expanding the possibilities for drone technology in high-altitude environments. . . . #DroneDelivery #MountEverest #HighAltitude #Innovation #EnvironmentalProtection #Mountaineering #tribunetrends
