　On the 24th in Gonohe -cho, Aomori Prefecture, a demonstration experiment was conducted on a drone to deliver hospital prescription drugs to patients, and success was successful. According to Seven -on Five (Tokyo), logistics experiments using drones are probably the first in the prefecture. "I would like to take advantage of carbon dioxide emissions and to take measures against shortage of doctors and drivers in the logistics industry in the future," said Katsuyuki Ishii, president of the company. The company has been supporting the introduction of drone utilization technology, and has planned an experiment in collaboration with Goto -cho and the company's member of the Japan Drone Utilization Promotion Organization (Aomori City). A doctor at Gonohe General Hospital used a tablet to treat patients online and skipped the drone on the assumption that the mock prescription drugs were delivered to the parking lot of the Kiritani -Uchidani post office in the eastern part of the town. The straight line distance of the departure and departure is about 4 km. We set a flight route to avoid the sky in advance, and flew mainly along the Gotokawa river at an altitude of about 40 meters and a speed of about 10 km. After landing in two -designated evacuation centers, we arrived at the destination, which also served as a test for drugs and goods transportation in the event of a disaster. The flight distance is about 5.8 kg, the flight time was about 30 minutes."It is necessary to have advanced information on the flight route and a system that controls multiple drones for practical use," said Ishii.The town has concluded a "agreement on town development using drones" with the Aimori Regional Research Institute (Aomori City) in August last year.Mayor Kazuichi Wakamiya said, "I think there are still more issues, but I want to move forward step by step."
