翼越雪山，货通四方！我国大型无人机开辟高原物流新“天路”

Core Viewpoint - The successful maiden flight of the domestically developed FP-985 "Jinniu" large fixed-wing drone marks a significant advancement in China's drone technology, particularly in adapting to the extreme conditions of the Tibetan Plateau, and establishes a crucial low-altitude logistics network for the region [1][3][4]. Group 1: Technical Achievements - The FP-985 "Jinniu" drone has a maximum takeoff weight of 5.7 tons and an effective payload capacity of over 2 tons, with a range exceeding 2000 kilometers [4]. - The drone is designed to operate in adverse weather conditions, featuring capabilities such as anti-icing, lightning protection, and high wind resistance, allowing for all-weather flight [4]. - Modifications to the piston engine enable the "Jinniu" to perform effectively even at altitudes of 4000 meters, similar to its performance at sea level [4]. Group 2: Logistics and Economic Impact - The new air logistics route significantly reduces transportation time between Mianyang and Linzhi from over 40 hours by traditional land routes to under 6 hours, enabling same-day delivery [3]. - The route connects the high-altitude region with the economically vibrant Sichuan Basin, facilitating the movement of local specialty products such as yak meat and medicinal herbs to broader markets [6]. - The establishment of this air route is expected to attract logistics and e-commerce companies to the region, enhancing the local economy and supporting the development of a full industrial chain in low-altitude economic activities [6].
