In addition, it will also show the public the various uses of the general aviation industry through different flight scenarios such as aviation medical rescue, agriculture and forestry sowing, forest protection and fire protection, remote sensing mapping, and artificial weather impact, so that the public can better understand general aviation, love general aviation, and thus increase the use of general aviation. Only when the public understands general aviation can we have the motivation to use general aviation, and only by using general aviation can we enter a step to promote the development of general aviation. A strong mass base is the foundation and energy for the development of the general aviation industry.
Highlight 2: High public participation
Xi'an Yanliang Aviation Base, one of the organizers of the Xi'an Airshow, is also ingenious in order to run the air show well, incorporating public participation and interactivity into the system.
They have planned a number of science popularization areas and interactive activities. For example, the "Hand-built Aircraft" science popularization activity will invite Chinese and foreign experts to explain the aircraft manufacturing process and guide children to assemble and build aircraft. At the same time, the China Aopa UAV Skill Challenge, Model Flight Interaction, Aviation Hero Forum and other activities will be held, so that aviation enthusiasts and young people have the opportunity to touch the pulse of aviation, reminisce about aviation history, explore the mysteries of aviation, and experience the fun of flying.
Especially for families with small children, it will be a good family time. On the one hand, the eldest friend can take the child into the world of aviation and increase the understanding of aviation; on the other hand, it can also strengthen the interaction with the child, which is conducive to the improvement of the parent-child relationship.
The past Xi'an Airshow attracted audiences from all walks of life and all ages: when innocence meets flight, the seeds of aviation come down.
Highlight three: strong professionalism in the industry
Xi'an Airshow is not only a platform for disseminating aviation culture and popularizing aviation knowledge, but also an important window and opportunity to attract investment and promote the development of the aviation industry. To this end, the organizers held a series of forums on the general aviation industry in a professional and pragmatic manner for exhibitors and industry scholars to communicate and negotiate.
Focusing on the theme of industrial development, this year's air show has attracted nearly 500 outstanding exhibitors to participate in the exhibition, and the total number of exhibits is expected to exceed 3,000 pieces, which will comprehensively present new products, new technologies and new achievements in the field of general aviation, and provide a good display and trading platform for the majority of merchants.
In the past Xi'an Airshow, rich experience and professional forums have attracted wide attention.
Xi'an Airshow Summit Forum will coordinate the superior resources of all parties, and invite more than 300 representatives from global general aviation enterprises and institutions, colleges and universities, government organizations, investment institutions, chambers of commerce and associations to gather together to discuss the current situation and development prospects of China's general aviation industry around the policy orientation, industrial prospects, supply and demand relations of the domestic general aviation market. At the same time, five sub-forums will be held, including the top-level design forum for the development of the general aviation industry, the aviation investment forum, the general aviation informatization forum, the pan-outdoor industry forum, and the aviation new materials forum.
Shaanxi has always been a major aviation province, Shaanxi Yanliang is a prestigious aviation city, there is also a Xi'an Yanliang National Aviation High-tech Industrial Base with the development of the general aviation industry as its own responsibility, and it is also planning to build the Xi'an Lantian General Aviation Industrial Park. Xi'an is one of the first batch of general aviation industry comprehensive demonstration zones recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission, as the earliest region in the country to develop the general aviation industry, Shaanxi Xi'an has made some useful experience in the practice of developing the general aviation industry. At present, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, makes full use of the advantages of aviation industry resource agglomeration, seizes the valuable opportunities for the development of general aviation, takes Xi'an Yanliang Aviation Base as the core, and follows the development path of "taking the flight belt market, pulling the industry with the market, and promoting development with the industry". From the perspective of platform construction, xi'an Yanliang Aviation Base General Aviation Industrial Park was awarded the "General Aviation Industry Pilot Park" by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, exploring flight declaration, general aviation airport operation, and general aviation enterprise profit model, leading the benign and rapid development of the industry. At the same time, the Shaanxi (Northwest) General Aviation Association has also been established, and there are currently more than 80 enterprises participating in the association, which has gathered the strength of all parties to develop the general aviation industry.
In addition to the advantages of resources, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, is also paying attention to the problem of airspace, and solving the problem of airspace can make general aviation enterprises have no worries and let general aviation aircraft really fly. Xi'an seized the opportunity of the state to deepen the reform of low-altitude airspace management, based on the internal airport of the general aviation industrial park of Xi'an Yanliang Aviation Base, actively coordinated, tried first, and continuously improved the frequency of airspace use, and promoted breakthroughs in airspace management reform. At present, Neifu Airport is an independent flight support unit, and in terms of innovation in flight declaration methods, the airport management company concentrates on declaring to the management department to improve the declaration efficiency and is conducive to the long-term development of enterprises in the park.
In addition, Xi'an is also actively building the entire industrial chain of the general aviation industry. At present, only Xi'an Yanliang Aviation Base has 146 general aviation related enterprises in the district, with a number of 142 aircraft, which are distributed in many fields such as general aviation aircraft and parts manufacturing, general aviation maintenance, flight training, aviation exhibition, airport management, general aviation operation, aviation tourism, aviation financing, aviation culture, park infrastructure construction and so on. Xi'an Yanliang Aviation Base has built a complete general aviation industry chain from upstream to downstream. That is to say, if the supplier wants to find a middleman in the general aviation industry chain, the aviation base can meet all the basic requirements. In addition to the profound cultural heritage, the young people of Xi'an are just as concerned about the sky and navigation.
The development and growth of the general aviation industry is inseparable from the care and support of all sectors of society, as one of the first batch of general aviation industry comprehensive demonstration zones recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, through the window of Xi'an Airshow, helps the public understand general aviation, enter general aviation, and use general aviation to provide engine power for the development of general aviation.
