Project Overview: Leveraging Technology to Solve Delivery Challenges in Scenic Areas
The Jinan Qianfo Mountain drone delivery project serves as an innovative demonstration of low-altitude economic application scenarios in Jinan City. The flight route stretches from Quancheng Square to the summit of Qianfo Mountain, covering a straight-line distance of about 3 kilometers at an altitude of roughly 290 meters—taking just 5 minutes for a one-way trip. Each drone can carry a maximum payload of 4.5 kilograms and operates multiple flights daily on average. Currently, the service primarily delivers beverages and fast food, but plans are underway to expand into a wider range of product categories, as well as applications such as scenic area inspections and emergency supply deliveries. Key features of this project include precise positioning, addressing the challenges of complex terrain and high delivery costs typically associated with mountainous scenic areas by shifting the paradigm from "people searching for goods" to "goods finding people." Additionally, the initiative fosters seamless air-ground coordination, creating a comprehensive logistics system that integrates steps from QR-code ordering and merchant inventory preparation, to rider box delivery, drone flight operations, and finally, user pickup. The project also leverages intelligent operational capabilities, powered by cutting-edge flight control systems that enable autonomous flight, real-time obstacle avoidance, and pinpoint landing accuracy, all while being continuously monitored via a cloud-based platform. Lastly, the project underscores its commitment to sustainability, utilizing pure electric propulsion to achieve zero carbon emissions—a perfect match for Qianfo Mountain's eco-friendly mission.
