The delivery system is now under a trial run for a total of 17 aerial routes in Shanghai, with the goal to deliver food orders in 20 minutes. /VCG Photo

During the trial, one delivery man will first put food orders in the drone, and another will retrieve it at the end of the trip to complete the delivery to the costumer’s door. The drone is expected to travel for 70 percent of the total trip, which is about 50 kilometers. /VCG Photo

The delivery company said the usage of drones will help significantly reduce the capital of manual delivery, both saving the cost and time. It also shows a promising shift in the food delivery industry. /VCG Photo
