February 24, 2022 05:05 (Updated February 24, 15:28)Drone that takes off from the starting point by pilot operation = Akafuku Isuzugawa store in Ujiurata, Ise city
On the 22nd, a unique demonstration experiment was conducted in the city area of Ise City to deliver the products of the long-established Japanese confectionery store "Akafuku" to the destination by drone. It is said that transportation experiments in densely populated urban areas are rare in Japan. In an attempt to appeal that drones will become a familiar and safe means of transportation in the future, the "Houmechigiri Drone Training Center" in Motomachi, Obata-cho, was planning by calling on Akafuku, and was sponsored by the prefecture, city, and Ise Chamber of Commerce. .. The drone is 1.2 meters in diameter and weighs 9 kilograms, and four boxes of "white rice cakes and black rice cakes" are loaded in the box at the bottom of the aircraft, for a total of about two kilograms. While about 20 people concerned were watching, I took off from the Akafuku Isuzugawa store in Ujiurata, the same city, and aimed at the prefectural general stadium auxiliary stadium about 1.2 km away. In fine weather and moderate breeze, the drone automatically flew a route of about 1.2 km via the Isuzu River and landed safely at the target point in the stadium about 6 minutes later. According to the law, the pilot operated visually during takeoff and landing. When Akafuku's adviser, Noriho Hamada (59), took out the box from the box, a mochi that was kept in a clean condition appeared. Adviser Hamada said, "We need to keep the rice cakes horizontal and transport them, but we are happy to arrive without losing their shape due to vibration or shock. Drones can make a big difference in our lives, such as eliminating the work that is delayed due to labor shortages. Well then. " Koichi Kato (59), president of Daito Motor Co., Ltd., which operates a driving school, said, "Under the current legal system, it is difficult to use drones for logistics. I want to connect.
