On-Demand Delivery
On-Demand Delivery · Faster Mid- to Long-Distance Delivery
On-demand air delivery for cities, tourist attractions, islands and vessels where ground journeys are slow, indirect or constrained.
Scenarios
Three On-Demand Delivery Scenarios
Delivery Scene
Urban Delivery · A Faster Route Across the City
For medium-distance city orders, couriers manage pickup and final delivery while drones fly the middle leg on a direct air route.
People at Both Ends. Drones in Between.
A courier brings the order to Site A. The drone flies the middle leg to Site B. Another courier completes final delivery.
Case Study
Hangzhou · Urban On-Demand Delivery
Five sites and 14 routes connect districts across Hangzhou. The network has completed approximately 2,500 paid orders, with a stronger time advantage during peak periods and adverse weather.
An Urban Drone Hub Is More Than A Hub
Add up to three services and explore how one site can support more urban activity.

Figures represent a typical configuration. Actual benefits depend on city scale, site location and the mix of services. · A 20–30 m² site with two landing channels supports up to 20 flights/hour (one flight comprises one take-off and one landing).

Case Study
Guangzhou · Urban Drone Delivery Hub
Antwork worked with a local city operator and an on-demand retail platform to build an urban drone delivery hub in Guangzhou. The site combines drone logistics infrastructure with public urban space and supports a shared city delivery network.

A complete solution connecting aircraft, sites, platforms and operations—from the first route to a citywide network.Safe and Reliable
Redundancy across critical flight systems · AL-4 automated flight and automated contingency response · Proven through routine commercial operations · Technical and operational support for local approvals
Flight Safety
Redundant Safety: Independent redundancy across propulsion, energy, flight-control, communication and navigation systems.
AL-4 Automated Flight: uamOS Cloud applies predefined contingency responses, including controlled deceleration and diversion to an alternate landing site.
Commercially Proven: 700,000 flights, over 4 million kilometres and no major accidents, with routine operations in over 60 cities.
Aircraft
RA3 Logistics Drone: 4 kg payload, 60 km/h cruise speed and 18 km range; compatible with the RH1W automated hub.
RA3 Logistics DroneTR9 Logistics Drone, Including TR9 Winch: 5 kg standard payload and 27 km maximum range; the winch configuration hovers at 12 m and lowers the shipment without landing.
TR9 Logistics DroneCompliance Support
The world's first urban drone logistics trial-operation licence (No. 0001).
Contributor to five Chinese civil aviation industry standards covering system requirements, route design and distributed operations.
Open and Connected
Swift Cloud connects orders and fulfilment workflows · uamOS Cloud manages routes, missions and flight safety · Connect existing delivery platforms and owned channels
Logistics and Flight Platforms
Swift Cloud: Connects delivery platforms through APIs and links order intake, pickup, air delivery, last-mile handover and tracking in one workflow.
Swift ClouduamOS Cloud: AL-4 automated flight with network-wide capacity optimisation.
uamOS CloudPlatform Integration and Ordering Channels
Tiantu Cloud: Digital airspace infrastructure providing data support for urban air delivery.
Songba Air Delivery: Merchants and customers order directly through mini-programs, serving tourist-attraction merchants, independent businesses and brands operating their own delivery services.
Integrated Platforms: Shansong, UU Paotui and Ele.me / Taobao Instant Commerce.
Operationally Viable
People handle both ends; aircraft handle the middle leg of the journey. · 1:20+ operator-to-drone monitoring ratio · Choose automated hubs, compact sites or winch delivery according to the operating environment
Cost Advantages
Use Courier Capacity More Efficiently: Couriers handle pickup and final delivery while aircraft fly the middle leg. For the stated 5–10 km operating examples, delivery time improved by 20%–50%.
AL-4 Automated Operations: One operator remotely monitors more than 10 drones, with no pilot required on site.
Distributed OperationsExpand Service Reach
Mountain Attractions: Conventional logistics costs three times as much as in typical locations. Drones enable new purchasing opportunities.
Islands and Anchorages: Replace a two-hour wait for a boat with delivery in 15 minutes, meeting demand that would otherwise go unserved.
Adverse Weather: When courier services stop, the time advantage of drone delivery becomes even more pronounced.
Flexible Deployment
Winch Delivery: TR9 Winch requires no infrastructure at the delivery point and departs immediately after delivery.
EH1 Lifting Landing Pad: A 1.6 m² footprint, lightweight deployment and a complete unit ready for rapid commissioning.
RH1W Automated Hub: Precision autonomous take-off and landing, automated loading and unloading, and five built-in cargo containers for self-service drop-off and collection.
MH2 Logistics Hub: Integrated charging, aircraft storage and cargo storage, with multiple bays for frequent take-offs and landings.
Urban Drone Hub: A 20–30 m² site supporting at least 20 flights/hour and shared access for multiple platforms, with ground-level businesses offsetting operating costs.
