Our country's scientific research team used drones successfully observe the vertical distribution of high-altitude ozone at Mount Everest.

Recently, a joint scientific research team composed of researchers from Peking University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other institutions, worked together with DJI Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. to use DJI Innovation's latest vertical take-off and landing compound wing drone to conduct data collection tasks with scientific instruments on board. The drone took off from the base camp of Mount Everest at 5200 meters above sea level, successfully measuring the vertical distribution of ozone from the ground at the base camp to an altitude of 8861 meters. In response to the extreme conditions of thin air, large temperature differences, and strong turbulent winds in the Everest region, engineers also made improvements in aspects such as constant temperature heating of drone batteries, anti-icing of airspeed tubes, and redundancy systems for power and flight control.
