The development of large-scale UAV technology and the commercial application of logistics and transportation scenarios will further promote the construction of integrated aviation logistics and the construction of intelligent logistics, and bring a revolutionary impact to the UAV and logistics industries.
On January 25, Feng bird technology, a large-scale UAV company under SF headquartered in Liangjiang New Area, officially obtained the trial operation license and business license of regional logistics UAV issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, marking the official opening of the era of large-scale UAV delivery, and also marking that Feng bird technology has become the first enterprise in China that can carry out the commercial trial operation of tonnage large-scale industry-loaded and long-haul regional logistics UAV under specific scenarios. Become the first large-scale drone enterprise in the world to use the scenario-specific operation risk assessment method to obtain regulatory approval to enter the commercial trial operation of regional logistics.
Feng bird technology took the lead in landing branch logistics scenario verification operation practice based on the specific operation risk assessment (SORA) method, and passed the final review of the Civil Aviation Administration in December 2021 after the initial review, document review, on-site subject verification and other aspects of the review. Through this evaluation method, the commercial trial operation of regional logistics drones was approved, and Feng bird technology was the first case in the world.
2022 will be the first year of the commercial operation of regional logistics drones, and this pioneering and breakthrough new initiative of the Civil Aviation Administration of China is of great significance to the future rapid development of the industry.
According to professionals, compared with traditional manned aircraft, large UAVs not only retain the original speed advantage, but also greatly reduce operating costs in model design and fleet operation, and even reach the same order of magnitude as trucks.
In the future, the application of large-scale UAVs in logistics scenarios will open up new aviation logistics channels for domestic trunk lines and branch lines, and effectively solve the problems of inconvenient logistics and transportation in remote areas and low transportation efficiency.
It is reported that after the approval of the license, Fengbird Technology will take the lead in carrying out regional logistics and transportation services in Northwest Yulin and other places, such as beef and mutton, fresh dates, fresh goji berries and other time-sensitive products in the northwest region, to help SF Group build a three-stage air transport network of "large manned aircraft + large regional UAV + terminal delivery drone", and the follow-up will expand the scope of trial operation in a timely manner under the supervision and guidance of the Civil Aviation Administration, and gradually connect and form a network.
The relevant person in charge of Feng bird technology said that as the operation expert group of the unmanned aerial vehicle management leading group of the Civil Aviation Administration, the member of the air traffic control expert group and the industry member of JARUS, it will continue to accumulate flight data and operation experience in the process of trial operation, help the construction of relevant standards and regulations for Civil Aviation UAV in China, make important contributions to the rapid development of the industry, and also export the UAV operation model demonstration of China's civil aviation to the world.
At present, Liangjiang New Area has gradually developed satellite Internet, aviation new materials, commercial aerospace and other aerospace industries, is focusing on the construction of aerospace industry core area, satellite Internet industry demonstration zone, aerospace industry incubation park, unmanned aerial vehicle incubation park, aerospace scene display and headquarters base and other "two districts, two parks and one base", accelerate the aerospace industry chain in groups, build an influential aerospace industry cluster in China, help Liangjiang New Area to build a high-quality development leading area, and strive to the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan". The output value of the aerospace industry reached 10 billion yuan.
