The major Chinese logistics company SF Express has been given the legal go-ahead for drone package deliveries, the first company to receive official permission for such a service, reports thepaper.cn.

 

澎湃新闻报道，顺丰速运已获准使用无人机运送包裹，这是国内首家获政府认可使用无人机送货的公司。
 

 

The company can now deliver packages in its logistics demonstration¹ area covering five villages and towns in Nankang District, Ganzhou City of Jiangxi Province.

 

After a package is loaded onto the drone, the route information is programmed in, and the UAV will make the delivery by itself.

 

SF Express teamed up with domestic drone maker² Xaircraft in 2013 to test Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAVs.

 

It's reported that SF Express has developed a variety of drone models, for different business scenarios³, which can carry loads of up to 5-25 kg, with a maximum range of 15-100 km.
