In the bustling skies over Beijing, something exciting is taking off! 🚁
Beijing is set to expand its low-altitude flight scenarios, including emergency rescue and express delivery services. This move is part of the city's ambitious plan to boost the growing low-altitude industry, aiming to house over 5,000 enterprises and increase the industry's value to a whopping 100 billion yuan (about $14.2 billion) by 2027. 💰
Imagine getting your online orders delivered by drones in minutes or emergency supplies reaching those in need faster than ever. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? But it's becoming a reality! Beijing plans to promote regular low-altitude delivery services in suburban districts like Yanqing, Pinggu, Miyun, and Fangshan.
But that's not all! The city is also exploring low-altitude passenger routes linking Beijing Daxing International Airport and Xiongan New Area in Hebei Province. They're even looking into intercity air commuting between Beijing and surrounding areas. Talk about commuting in style! ✈️
The low-altitude economy isn't just about drones zipping around. It includes conventional general aviation and drone-supported services in low-altitude airspace. Many cities across China are racing to get a piece of this futuristic pie, seeing it as a new track of industrial development.
Just this August, Beijing launched its first unmanned aerial vehicle logistics delivery route in a section of the Great Wall. Tourists can now receive summer relief items and emergency supplies within minutes! How cool is that? 😎
Other cities are catching on too. Shanghai plans to establish a low-altitude communications network with continuous coverage throughout the region by the end of 2026. The future of flight is looking bright in China! 🌟
Stay tuned as we keep you updated on this sky-high adventure. The future is not just on the horizon—it's soaring above us! 🚀
