Wuhu, a rising tech hub in east China’s Anhui Province, just dropped major aviation news at the 2025 Low-Altitude Economy Development Conference! Two cutting-edge aircraft models—the Xiangyun V UAV and CA40 plane—made their grand debut, signaling bold strides in China’s low-altitude economy sector. 🌐✈️
The Xiangyun V, a twin-engine cargo drone, is basically a heavy-lift superhero 🦸♂️: 2,000 kg payload, 2,000 km range, and enough space to fit 14.5 cubic meters of cargo. Designed for emergency rescue and remote logistics, this UAV promises to slash costs and boost efficiency for hard-to-reach areas. Developed locally by CETC Wuhu Diamond Aircraft, it’s 100% homegrown tech—no dependencies here!
Then there’s the sleek CA40, a four-seater plane built for speed (260 km/h cruise!) and safety. With anti-spin tech, de-icing capabilities, and a fuel-efficient engine, it’s perfect for flight schools, aerial tours, or even your future private jet dreams. ✨ Plus, its all-composite body lasts forever—talk about sustainability goals!
Over 100 experts and entrepreneurs gathered at the conference (Sept 5-7) to discuss how innovation can drive this booming sector. Since 2022, Wuhu has inked 82 projects worth $8.4 billion 💰, proving it’s a hotspot for aviation investment.
From delivery drones to pilot training, the low-altitude economy is taking off—literally. Who’s ready for the sky revolution? 🚁🚀
