Shared drones are transforming industries through innovative rental models. From scenic selfies to crop protection, these flying devices demonstrate the power of sharing economy. This article explores three groundbreaking applications driving this $100B market.
Travel Innovation｜Scenic Selfie Solutions
The Liūqīng River Scenic Area in Qingdao deploys shared drone cabinets with 5 palm-sized quadcopters. Visitors scan QR codes to rent 4K camera drones at ¥19.9/30 minutes (no deposit). Operational data shows 90% daily utilization rates, with shops offering “15 bonus minutes for 1-hour rentals”.
Agricultural Transformation｜Smart Farming Partnerships
Shuāngfēng County’s hilly farmlands (70% terrain) adopt shared agricultural drones through corporate partnerships. Farmers book certified pilots via apps, achieving 30-minute response times. This model cuts equipment costs by 50% and pesticide expenses from ¥25 to ¥8 per mu. Over 300 pilots now service 400,000+ acres annually.
Urban Governance｜24/7 Smart City Patrols
Zhōnglóu District’s 6 shared inspection drones complete river checks in 10 minutes – 17x faster than manual methods. The “Gov-Fly Cloud” platform manages 231 routes across 12 scenarios, saving ¥2M yearly. Typhoon response efficiency jumped 400% with 98.6% hazard detection accuracy.
Market Projections｜$1 Trillion Sky Economy
China’s MIIT plans establish a trillion-dollar low-altitude economy by 2030. Industry reports reveal 215% growth in shared drone providers during 2023, covering 87 specialized fields. Experts predict 5G-AI integration will create 300+ new drone-related professions.
DEFNOCO batteries have the characteristics of high energy, low internal resistance, and low temperature rise. They can be used continuously under natural heat dissipation conditions. You can continue charging and working on the machine without waiting for heat dissipation. This makes the battery more stable and reliable in long-term operations of plant protection drones.
DEFNOCO batteries support high-rate continuous charging and discharging, which can provide strong power support for agriculture drones. At the same time, its charging speed is also very fast. It only takes about 20 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%, which greatly improves the operating efficiency of the plant protection drone.
