Last month, drone maker XAG and aviation manufacturer Airbus conducted a trial drone delivery of food in Guangzhou.
During the trial, a select group of customers in Guangzhou could order food from a nearby shop through a mini-program on WeChat.
The fresh food is prepared and then the cooked dish, carefully placed into an insulated box, is itself loaded into the waiting drone on a custom locker.
It took the drone three minutes to travel 1.6 kilometers and deliver four bowls of noodles at reported.
Meng Yu was the lucky first customer of this novel service. She ordered a Lanzhou beef noodle dish and excitedly said the service is "cool".
"We do not have a company canteen so my colleagues and I order takeaway every day. Deliveries could never be sent upstairs in the past, but this time it just comes to me from the sky right to our roof terrace! "
"My noodles were hot as I like them and it took under 15 minutes from ordering to enjoying! Usually, I had to wait for up to an hour during peak lunch hour and often the food was cold."
According to reports, the drone can lift up to 5 kilograms of payload and travel at 12 meters per second. In other words, you can get your food in a minute if the shop is from 720 meters away.
It has raised heated discussion on the Internet. Netizens imagine the day that all food deliveries are carried by drones.
Some people joke that food delivery men are going to lose their job.
