in chengdu, a rapidly developing city, low-altitude economy is becoming a highlight. as one of the first pilot areas for the reform of low-altitude airspace collaborative management and a civil unmanned aerial vehicle test base (test area) in china, chengdu has obvious advantages in developing low-altitude economy in terms of industrial foundation, innovation capability and market space.
on august 30, the opening day of the 27th chengdu international auto show, a flying car will be demonstrated over qinhuang lake, marking a major step forward in chengdu's "flying" journey. this flying car is the "xpeng huitian travel hangzhe x2", which is mainly made of all-carbon fiber materials. the whole machine adopts a split design, with a maximum endurance of about 25 minutes, a maximum flight altitude of 1,000 meters, and a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour. in addition, the flying car uses pure electricity as a power source, which is in line with the goal of urban green transportation and can meet the needs of short-distance travel within the city.
the demonstration of the flying car has triggered people's thinking about the future development direction of flying cars. the development of flying cars needs to overcome multiple key technical fields, such as breakthroughs in power, construction of flight platforms and formulation of traffic rules. at the same time, issues such as airworthiness certification, safe operation in the air, division of accident responsibilities and air traffic infrastructure have also become challenges facing the future development of flying cars.
as one of the first pilot areas in the country, chengdu is working hard to promote the development of low-altitude economy and the reform of low-altitude airspace management. "in terms of airspace service guarantee, this flight has been successfully approved as the first land-air dual-use flying car flight activity plan in the central and western regions." the relevant person in charge of the chengdu port logistics office introduced that this flight activity is the first flight demonstration in chengdu, and it is also a further consolidation and expansion of chengdu's pilot results in promoting the development of low-altitude economy and the reform of low-altitude airspace management.
in the future, chengdu will continue to consolidate and expand the results of the pilot reform of low-altitude airspace management, strengthen the construction of the city's low-altitude flight command center, establish and improve low-altitude traffic flight rules, enhance low-altitude flight service guarantee capabilities, and provide solid guarantees for emerging transportation modes such as air express.
