It looks like a pretty capable drone, but it still has a service ceiling 2,800m lower than the peak. Though I imagine most of the garbage is at lower altitudes, but the base camps are still near the service ceiling.
Sadly, it only has a 30kg payload so it seems Green Boots is staying put.
I mean, they have drones with saws for cutting tree limbs now. When you have a big problem, start by cutting it into smaller individual problems…

I can’t ever take the word perilous seriously.
Pretty cool, worth the watch. They don’t show the size very well, with arms folded in fits in the back of a pickup. 30 kg with one battery, 40 kg with 2 batteries, hot swap battery, 16 km range, 20 m/s (72 km/h), 6000 m ceiling, record and repeat flight paths.
Looks like they think the chinese delivery market will be huge.
They moved his body 10 years ago. Still on the mountain but I’d guess not many people know where he is anymore.
Might I suggest a fun alternative? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvrRQEchBp0
I’m impressed that these drones can operate on Everest, especially carrying a payload. I would assume the air density would be too low for the rotors to generate sufficient lift.
I don’t think this will be operating at the peak. But, as the martian helicopter has shown, low air density is just an engineering problem :)
