Xinhua reported that China will test the drone's utilization by the end of this month. The Aviation Industry Corporation of China, a company that produces the drones, claimed to have equipped them with a more flexible and aero-dynamic shape for easier control. The company's CEO Ma Yongsheng, stated that each drone has the ability to lift a cargo three times heavier than its own weight, thus providing a more effective operation.
In the last couple of years, cities in China have been facing a disastrous problem due to air pollution caused by power plant emission.
