Leading companies in low-altitude industry gather in Bao'an science park

Renowned leading enterprises in the low-altitude economy such as Pengcheng Wings have already settled in the Bao'an Low-altitude Economy Industry Public Service Center. The industrial agglomeration effect is driving the low-altitude economy to soar at an accelerating pace.

At the showroom on the first floor of the center, the manned-class aircraft and cargo-class aircraft showcased by over a dozen enterprises endow the entire exhibition hall with a strong sense of futurism. Here visitors can see industrial heavy-lift helicopters, two-passenger electric drones, and the “Pengcheng Wings”unmanned piloted aircraft that has obtained the three major “passes”for civil aircraft airworthiness.

“This is a crucial public service platform for the development of the low-altitude economy industry in Bao’an District,”introduced He Zhiqin, deputy general manager of Minglan Low-altitude Economy Industry Service Company of Bao’an Transportation Group.

The center is located in the Blue Future Science Park in Dachan Bay, Xixiang Subdistrict in Bao’an. It was put into use in May last year, with a construction area of 17,800 square meters. Its functional planning includes the Bao'an low-altitude economy industry showroom, the low-altitude flight administrative service platform, the science and technology innovation service center, the enterprise service center, and the urban transportation experience center.

In addition, the center offers drone pilot training.

“In the future, we will introduce some service windows, such as providing one-stop services for enterprises, including legal aid, customs, and tax services, to boost the development of the low-altitude economy in Bao’an,”said He.

Over 30 kilometers from the center, in the bustling UAV system application test base in Yanchuan Community, Yanluo Subdistrict, UAVs are performing a series of maneuvers, including hovering, take-off and landing, and precise turning.

Currently, the first-phase land area of the base is 9,000 square meters, and three take-off and landing fields for rotor-type UAVs with different diameters have been built.

“The base was put into use simultaneously with the center. It can provide free verification and testing services for UAV enterprises in the jurisdiction. Currently, several enterprises are conducting test flights here,”said He. As of Jan. 9, the cumulative total test flight time of this test base has reached 2,476 hours, with 10,737 take-off and landing operations.
