9. FH-98
The FH-98 cargo drone symbolises Chinese innovation in autonomous aerial mobility. Operating with a 1.5 tonne payload capacity and a 1,200 km range, this adapted light aircraft has shown success in regional logistics. While its autonomous technologies offer dependable navigation and flight control, the drone's traditional aeroplane architecture lets it operate from current airports. The success of the FH-98 in commercial cargo operations shows the feasibility of turning manned aircraft into autonomous cargo platforms, therefore providing a reasonably priced means of medium-range goods movement.
