Sherpas have historically borne the burden of transporting essentials such as oxygen tanks, tents and food through treacherous terrain. The introduction of drones, in particular the DJIFlyCart 30 model, which can carry up to 30 kilograms, offers a safer and more efficient alternative.
By automating these critical task, Nepal aims to reduce the death toll on Mount Everest, where icefalls have killed nearly 50 people since 1953. While concerns have been raised about job displacement, officials and climbers see drones as a vital tool. to improve safety and environmental conditions.
The Everest region has faced increasing challenges due to overpopulation and climate change, which has led to a significant accumulation of waste. Drones are expected to play a critical role in the fight against waste and efforts to clean up this fragile ecosystem.
DJI's FlyCart 30 with its impressive payload capacity and ability to perform well in extreme environments suitable for the demanding environment of the Himalayas. This development marks a significant step forward in the application of drone technology for humanitarian and logistical purposes.
