DJI drones flew for the first time at the high altitude of Mount Everest
Recently, DJI successfully achieved the world's first high-altitude drone material delivery experiment, demonstrating its leading drone technology.
DJI drones flew for the first time at the high altitude of Mount Everest
At the summit of Mount Everest, 8,849 meters above sea level, a DJI large drone successfully completed the delivery mission, setting a new milestone for the application of drone technology in extreme environments.
Everest's geographical challenges and technological advantages
Mount Everest, 8,849 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the world, where extreme low temperatures, lack of oxygen, and strong winds are raging all year round, which brings great challenges to the operation of any aircraft.
DJI drones flew for the first time at the high altitude of Mount Everest
Since its inception in 2006, DJI has maintained a leading position in the field of drone technology, headquartered in Shenzhen, with a global market share of about 80%.

The delivery of materials to Mount Everest is not only a verification of DJI's technical strength, but also a challenge to the technical limits of drones.
DJI drones successfully completed the delivery of supplies to Mount Everest
During this mission, the DJI drone successfully airdropped 15 kilograms of supplies, flew against a level 7 wind, and accurately reached the peak of 8,849 meters.
The drone flew stably at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and the entire mission took only 12 minutes, showing excellent performance in the environment of minus 5 degrees Celsius and 7 winds.
At the end of the mission, the drone's battery was still 43% charged, which showed its high efficiency in high-altitude, low-temperature environments.
In order to ensure the success of the mission, more than 20 engineers camped at an altitude of 5,300 meters for a year, overcoming many difficulties.
Western countries have restricted and suppressed DJI
Western countries led by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada have taken restrictive and suppressive measures against DJI, and the United States has even included DJI in the "entity list" of export controls, restricting the export of its technology.
The reason was for concerns that its products could be used for surveillance and data privacy issues. These measures have undoubtedly created a headwind to DJI's international market expansion.
Experts analyze DJI's drone technology breakthroughs
DJI drones use advanced antipas thermal chips to ensure normal operation in low temperature environments; Its aerodynamic design greatly improves wind resistance; The high-thrust rotor and high-precision laser rangefinder ensure the stability and precise control of the flight.
The engineers worked hard in extreme conditions to successfully complete the testing and preparation work to ensure the smooth implementation of the mission.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have broad prospects for logistics and transportation
DJI's successful high-altitude delivery demonstrates the great potential of drones in logistics transportation, as drones can efficiently and quickly deliver supplies to remote areas, solving the bottleneck of traditional transportation methods.
In the military and civilian fields, UAVs have a wide range of application prospects, not only for logistics and transportation, but also for film and television shooting, agriculture and forestry monitoring, environmental monitoring, reconnaissance, strikes, material delivery and other tasks.
This breakthrough also reflects the importance of China's independent innovation in science and technology, and DJI drone technology will continue to develop in the future, further breaking the blockade of foreign technology.
DJI's successful delivery of high-altitude materials on Mount Everest is not only a huge technological breakthrough, but also a reflection of China's scientific and technological strength.
This achievement opens up new possibilities for the application of drones in extreme environments, and will promote the development and application of drone technology in more fields in the future.
