A Chinese company reached new heights with a drone trial recently.
DJI teamed up with the Nepalese drone service company Airlift , video production company 8KRAW and Nepalese-certified mountain guide Mingma Gyalje Sherpa to fly the world's first successful delivery drone trials on Mount Everest .
During the tests, three oxygen bottles and over three pounds of other supplies were flown from Everest Base Camp to Camp 1."From the end of April, our team embarked on a groundbreaking endeavor to help make cleanup efforts on Everest safer and more efficient," said Christina Zhang, Senior Corporate Strategy Director at DJI.
The hazardous climb across the Khumbu Icefall typically happens at night when the temperatures are at their lowest but the ice is the most stable.
