Cargo drone technology has disrupted traditional logistics, eliminating human-operated vehicles. Advancements in unmanned aerial systems have led to sophisticated drones equipped with advanced sensors, navigation capabilities, and obstacle avoidance mechanisms. These drones are employed in different sectors, from last-mile deliveries to critical medical supply transportation, showcasing their versatility and potential impact. However, regulatory frameworks pose challenges, particularly in urban environments. Complexities such as battery endurance and adverse weather performance remain significant hurdles. Despite these obstacles, substantial investments are being directed toward the research and development of cargo drone solutions. This study centers on an experimental eco-sustainable cargo drone prototype, highlighting its technical attributes. The investigation extends to dissecting regulatory intricacies, both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, the feasibility of establishing a startup based on this technology is evaluated. This research encapsulates the converging domains of drone technology, regulatory dynamics, and entrepreneurial opportunities.
