Low-altitude economy is a comprehensive economic form that is driven by various low-altitude flight activities of various manned and unmanned aerial vehicles and radiates and drives the integrated development of related fields. At present, Jinan is making every effort to promote the development of this strategic emerging industry, accelerate the cultivation of platform carriers, actively introduce high-quality enterprises, create demonstration application scenarios, and the low-altitude economy is booming in Jinan.
At Pingyin's Yushan Airport, the domestically produced AG50 light sport aircraft, which just completed its first flight in Quancheng a few days ago, can fly 200 kilometers in one hour, and the maximum flight range has reached 1,000 kilometers.
After the full cooperation of the flight chief engineer and the staff, the aircraft quickly completed the preparations before takeoff, and under the command of the tower, with the roar of the motor, the AG50 aircraft took off.
After 20 minutes of high-altitude flight, the plane landed smoothly at Yushan Airport, bringing the reporter an extraordinary high-altitude trip, and the whole process was wonderful and exciting. After the experience just now, the reporter saw the scenery of Pingyin County at an altitude of 300 meters, with the spectacular Yellow River on the left and the beautiful Rose Lake wetland on the right, so it can be said that the whole flight process is quite exciting.
Times low-altitude (Shandong) General Aviation Co., Ltd. flight chief engineer Bing Jianliang told reporters that the plane next to him is AG50 aircraft, 6.5 meters long, wingspan 9.16 meters, 2.5 meters high, the maximum flight speed can reach 220 kilometers, the farthest can fly to 1000 kilometers, the effective height can fly to 3000 meters, and the aircraft is equipped with a parachute to ensure the safety of man and machine when some unpredictable problems occur in the air.
According to reports, the AG50 light sport aircraft is a low-cost composite fixed-wing aircraft, independently developed by the Aviation Industry Special Aircraft Research Institute of China Aviation Industry Corporation, and introduced by the Times Low-altitude (Shandong) Industry Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jinan Iron and Steel Group, and will build the only authorized "4S shop" of the model in 7 provinces and cities in the north of the mainland.
Wu Xiuhua, general manager of Times Low Altitude (Shandong) General Aviation Co., Ltd., said that if this aircraft is sold in seven northern provinces and cities in the future, it will go out from this center. A factory was built in this place, where the assembly and production of aircraft was built. For the follow-up repair and maintenance of the aircraft, it can be done here, and the hosting of the aircraft is also a main business direction of the airport.
In addition, Times Low Altitude also cooperates with the Pingyin County Government to build a low-altitude industrial demonstration base in Jinan with Yushan Airport as the core, which will build a low-altitude economic industrial cluster integrating aircraft manufacturing, service support, airport operation, flight training, aviation education, and flight performance in the future.
Wu Xiuhua, general manager of Times Low Altitude (Shandong) General Aviation Co., Ltd., told reporters that they made a three-phase plan, and the first phase of the plan is mainly from the perspective of service guarantee, the construction of hangars, comprehensive service buildings, and air show buildings. In the second phase, after in-depth cooperation with surrounding UAV manufacturers, they were introduced to this airport for experimental test flights, including assembly and production. The third phase of construction is mainly to extend the runway of the airport.
He Lei, deputy director of the Pingyin County Development and Reform Bureau, said that the next step will be to firmly grasp the tuyere of industrial development, in accordance with the government's guidance, industrial singing, scene pulling, and facility support, lay a good foundation, optimize the ecology, and let Pingyin's low-altitude industry take advantage of the situation to start and rise in the wind.
