A2Z Drone Delivery recently announced the launch of its flagship delivery drone, the RDSX Pelican. It is designed to meet the 55-pound takeoff weight limitation for FAA Part 107 compliance. The Pelican can carry payloads of 5 kilos on missions up to 40 kilometers roundtrip.
It does not have ailerons, elevator or rudder, thus with no control surfaces to combine the reliability and flight stability of a multirotor platform its design eliminates common points of failure and exponentially extends operational time between maintenance overhauls, claims A2Z.
The drone is available in multiple configurations and can be customized for multi-missions like residential deliveries, aerial mapping, drone inspection, forestry services, search and rescue operations, water sample collection, offshore deliveries, mining, etc
“Here at A2Z Drone Delivery, our development is not just about maximizing performance, it’s about creating usable tools designed to get work done,” said Aaron Zhang, Founder and CEO of A2Z Drone Delivery, Inc. “The new RDSX Pelican is the highly efficient, long range delivery platform in that last-mile fleet. It is thoughtfully designed to minimize potential points of failure, reducing the overall cost-per-kilometer of logistics operations, all while providing maximum payload flexibility.”
Meanwhile A2Z Drone Delivery recently expanded its Ground Zero Test Facility in Anji Country outside Shanghai, China to test the new drone solutions under real-life conditions in diverse topography and environmental conditions.
From its test facility, A2Z Drone Delivery has already been conducting autonomous residential deliveries of medicines, COVID test kits, as well as food orders from local providers. These consumer deliveries not only provide a valuable service to residents of the rural area but allow A2Z Drone Delivery developers to learn how people interact with its drone systems in real life.
