    I’m impressed that these drones can operate on Everest, especially carrying a payload. I would assume the air density would be too low for the rotors to generate sufficient lift.

      I don’t think this will be operating at the peak. But, as the martian helicopter has shown, low air density is just an engineering problem :)
