Drones piloted to make quicker shore-to-ship payload deliveries

摘要

Engineers at Airbus have demonstrated the use of a drone to carry and deliver payloads from a port to vessels anchored out at sea.The trial, a first in real port conditions, used the firm's Skyways parcel delivery drone to carry 1.5kg of 3D-printed components from Singapore's Marina South Pier to a vessel anchored 1.5km off the coast. The entire flight took 10 minutes.
