This article mainly focuses on the cooperative transportation between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and trucks, i.e., the optimal strategy problem under emergency conditions of multiple truck-UAVs. Under the traditional UAV-truck distribution mode, there are few transportation strategies considering the transportation of emergency supplies, and there is a lack of research on the scheduling of multiple truck-UAV combinations. In order to fill this gap, we propose the FSTSP model with a multipath genetic algorithm. It obtains the optimal solution of visiting customer locations under the condition of the limited number of truck-UAVs. Meanwhile, the minimum number of truck-UAVs for delivery tasks under timelimited conditions is calculated. Such a scheme helps to deliver goods to customers at a lower time cost and improves economic efficiency. The experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
