Drones in Port Operations
FUTURE PORT TO AIR INTERFACE: HEAVY COMMERCIAL DRONES
Heavy-duty commercial drones are specialized unmanned aerial vehicles designed to carry substantial payloads, ranging from 10 pounds to over 500 pounds, making them essential for various industries such as logistics, construction, and agriculture.
Future heavy-duty commercial drones may rival truck and rail in inter-modal connectivity from ports. The Griff 800 is capable of carrying a max payload of 1,763 pounds. JD.com (China) is constructing a super-sized delivery drone capable of carrying a payload of over 1 ton up to 186 miles.
