Recently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China officially released the "Technical Requirements for Electric Multi-rotor Unmanned Aircraft (Light and Small) System for Urban Scenario Logistics" on its official website. As the first UAV technical specification for urban scenarios in China, the release of this standard means that urban UAV applications have taken an important step on the road of standardized development, opening the door for the commercialization and scale of the UAM industry. space, a major milestone.

The standard emphasizes the safety design criteria and functional requirements of drones operating in densely populated urban areas. After publication, it will not only be used to guide the design and certification of logistics drones operating in cities, but also for other applications in urban environments. The safety assessment of UAV products in the scene has an important reference role.
At the same time, as my country's first practical achievement in the operation of urban logistics drones in the world, the standard has the value of leading the industry. It will be promoted to the International Civil Aviation Organization and civil aviation departments of various countries through the Civil Aviation Administration and industry experts to further expand its scope of influence.

In October 2019, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued the "Approval Letter for the Trial Operation of Certain Types of Drones" to Sendba Logistics, a subsidiary of Hangzhou Antwork. Since then, urban unmanned aerial vehicles (hereinafter referred to as "UAVs") logistics operation practice, commercial exploration, and institutional regulations have been carried out simultaneously.
At the same time of commercial exploration and operation practice, the establishment and regulation of the application of urban logistics drones has always been the focus of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. one. It is necessary to form a unified and effective industry guidance standard on the basis of practice, so as to lay a foundation for cultivating a healthy ecology and ensure healthy and rapid industry development.

This standard was proposed by the Airworthiness Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, led by Hangzhou Antwork Network Technology Co., Ltd., and participated in the drafting of many important research institutions and logistics drone companies in the industry, including: China Academy of Civil Aviation Science and Technology, Beijing Sanyao Technology Co., Ltd. Technology Co., Ltd. (Meituan drone), China Civil Aviation Management Cadre College, Civil Aviation University of China, Zhongtong Express Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Jiande General Aviation Research Institute.
The main content of the standard research is the technical requirements of urban scene logistics drones. Focusing on the characteristics of urban logistics automation over-the-horizon and high-density operation, the system, cargo loading, reliability, emergency management, and requirements of drone are put forward. At the same time, according to the safety risk level and actual operation practice, the applicable model restrictions of this standard are also limited, that is, electric multi-rotor drones that operate in urban scenes and take off under 25kg.

Since urban drone is a relatively new and technically difficult application field in the drone industry, the global drone industry currently lacks practical application experience in this field, and there are no mature standards in various countries. As the first company to obtain the approval letter for the operation of urban logistics drones, Xunyi uses its own application experience to refine the design methods and technical requirements of high-reliability logistics drone products suitable for urban scenarios into relevant industry standards Specifications can effectively promote the application development and technological upgrading in this field, and further consolidate China's global leading position in the field of civilian drones.
