Although physical distribution research using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has garnered increasing interest, the task of automatically loading a parcel onto a UAV remains inadequately researched. In this study, after evaluating previous research related to UAV loading, we propose a system that can achieve non-stop handover of a parcel to an airborne UAV and aid in the design of an automatic UAV delivery system. To evaluate the efficiency of our proposed system for introduction to an actual delivery system, we construct a mathematical model for UAV delivery. The model simulation results show that the proposed system can achieve a maximum improvement of 65% in the number of parcels delivered per day, and that non-stop handover has a greater effect on reducing the cost of the system when the average delivery distance is short.
