CyPhy Works and American Express UPS jointly tested the use of drones to transport asthma inhaler medical supplies from Beverly, Massachusetts to a small island (Children's Island) on the Atlantic coast, flying three miles over the flight. Only 8 minutes. The boat trip to the island test took about 30 minutes during the same period, and the car could not reach the island. The drone is 42 inches in size and weighs 10 pounds.
The drone flies autonomously to the island, but according to current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, all drones are required to travel within the operator's field of view. Therefore, this flight test arranged for the relevant vessel to follow the drone flight test mission to ensure that the flight test was within the operator's line of sight.
Helen Greiner, founder and chief technology officer of CyPhy Works, said that the use of this drone technology can save lives and provide products and services where it is difficult to reach through traditional transportation infrastructure.
Less than a month ago, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a management rule Part 107 for small commercial drones. Essentially, companies that plan to use small commercial drones (under 55 pounds) no longer need government approval, they only need to take a test and pay a fee to use the drone. However, the drone's flight distance cannot exceed the operator's line of sight and the prohibition of flying in the crowded area still hinders the drone from entering the market. However, this has already marked a major step in the drone market.
