Request for Information on Drones Supplying Food Project.

Dear Mr. Joseph Bloggs,

My name is Hanako Ito and am a student of Aichi Institute of Technology, located in the Prefecture of Aichi, central Japan. Our university is a wellI respected educational institution which has previously undertaken key research in various fields of science and engineering. I am part of a team currently undertaking research on solving problems of delivering food and help to remote areas. Our focus is on SDG 2: Zero Hunger, and 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

After undertaking research on the above topic we found your organization has some innovative ideas which caught our interest.  We have several questions on this matter that we consider important to our research.

1. How much weight does each drone carry?

2. If 1 drone can carry 20kg of food for example, how long can it fly to its destination and return?

3. How is your company promoting the use of these types of drones to other regions and countries?

4. What problems have you experienced?

5. Could you share any other information you feel is important?

I realise you may be very busy, but this information is exceptionally important for our research. A response before October 15th would really help us.

Any assistance or information will be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to your reply,

Hanako Ito
