BEIJING: China flew its biggest-yet unmanned cargo aircraft designed for civilian use, as the world's top drone-making nation steps up test flights of autonomous aerial vehicles (UAVs) that could ultimately ferry everything from takeouts to people.
Packing a payload capacity of 2 metric tonnes, the twin-engine aircraft took off on Sunday (Aug 11) on an inaugural flight, state media said, citing developer Sichuan Tengden Sci-tech Innovation Co, for a trip of about 20 minutes in southwestern Sichuan province.
