As China continues to actively promote the development of low altitude economy, the once remote and mysterious sky is becoming more and more accessible to Chinese people. At the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition (CAAEF) held in Zhuhai, Guangdong, innovative low altitude aircrafts such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and future oriented aircraft with new configurations became highlights, and the continuously expanding low altitude application scene created new opportunities and expectations for enterprises and people. We must cherish this era of diverse and innovative low altitude aircraft Guo Liang, CEO and Chief Scientist of Wofei Changkong, said. During the 15th China Air Show, Geely Technology Group's Wofei Changkong unveiled the batch production configuration of its AE200 tiltrotor manned aircraft, announcing that this globally leading electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft has officially moved from scientific research to mass production, and plans to start manned verification flights in 2025. It is not far away for citizens to experience flying cars Guo Liang stated that the AE200 is expected to be available around 2026, allowing people to start experiencing it on some small-scale fixed routes. Low altitude economy refers to a comprehensive economic form that is driven by the low altitude flight activities of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles, radiating and driving the integrated development of related fields. This year, the low altitude economy was included for the first time in the government work report. According to statistics, more than 20 provinces in China have included the development of low altitude economy in their local government work reports or introduced relevant policies, competing to layout low altitude economy and hoping to expand new markets based on new technologies. At the 15th China Air Show, the "Xiangyun" AS700 manned airship independently developed by the China Special Aircraft Research Institute, a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, received 10 purchase orders and signed 164 intention orders on site. Among them, Jingmen Urban Construction Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd., as the first "mysterious customer" to place an order on Taobao, signed another 60 intention orders at the air show site. Cheng Xiong, Chairman of Jingmen Urban Construction Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. (Jingmen Urban Control Group), said, "Targeting new opportunities in the low altitude economy, Jingmen Urban Control is preparing to seize market opportunities by investing in the AS700 manned airship project. The AS700 airship is a 'hot' product of China Special Aircraft Research Institute, and Jingmen Urban Control Group is preparing to 'fly' it first from the application scenario of fashion tourism. In the future, we will continue to expand the application scenarios of airships, such as aerial photography and urban inspections Cheng Xiong introduced that currently, Jingmen Urban Control Group has started to establish a specialized airship operation company. Focusing on the "full lifecycle management" of airships and more low altitude aircraft, as well as the broad market prospects that come with it, the group is planning to cooperate with the China Special Aircraft Research Institute to carry out maintenance and operation of airships and other aircraft, and to carry out production, application, maintenance, and pilot training of airships and other aircraft in Jingmen Aviation Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Park. The country continues to introduce policies to promote the development of the low altitude economy, and we are quickly laying out our plans to seize opportunities in the 'low altitude' and strive for longer-term development. Airships are a new exploration, and low altitude fashion tourism is just one step in our exploration of low altitude. In the future, we will further explore low altitude economic application scenarios such as intelligent mapping, emergency rescue, and urban security Cheng Xiong said. At the 15th China Airshow, AVIC Group held a themed press conference on "Low altitude Economy", releasing its latest unmanned aerial vehicles and eVTOL products, sharing the development blueprint of low altitude economy products with various sectors of society, and exploring the future development path of low altitude economy. It is reported that China Aviation Industry Corporation will focus on the unmanned, electrified, and intelligent development of low altitude economy, and develop products such as the "Wing Dragon" series long endurance unmanned aerial vehicles, HH series large cargo unmanned transportation systems, "Xuange" series unmanned helicopters, ARE-3000 eVTOL, etc. It will also combine the technical characteristics of low altitude unmanned equipment, expand application scenarios, and promote the healthy development of industrial ecology. Industry experts say that driving force is key to developing a low altitude economy. To open up a new low altitude economy track, power must come first. We need to highlight innovation leadership, green and low-carbon, cross-border integration, and face the world Yin Zeyong, an aeroengine expert and academician of the CAE Member, said. (New Society)
