Recently, Zhuhai Airshow Group Co., Ltd. announced the global debut of XPENG AEROHT "Land Aircraft Carrier" flying car, the national launch of Gansu Yunhe's drone, and the first public appearance of China's 58-meter "Orca" vessel. These will all be showcased in Doumen, Zhuhai. The Zhuhai Airshow's "second exhibition area" in Doumen will offer aviation and navigation enthusiasts a new experience with a combination of static and dynamic displays, as well as both water and air exhibits. The "Land Aircraft Carrier", China's first personal-use split-type flying car, consists of land and flight components and is expected to begin pre-sales in Q4 2024.

The split-type flying car features a land component that seats 4-5 people and is equipped with an extended-range hybrid power system, allowing multiple recharges for the flight component. The vehicle has a tri-axle, six-wheel design with 6X6 all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering. The flight component is China's first manned electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) designed for personal use. It uses a distributed electric propulsion system that meets single-point failure safety requirements, offers both manual and automatic driving modes, and features a 270° panoramic dual-seat cockpit, providing a unique flying experience for the pilot.

In addition to the global debut of the "Land Aircraft Carrier," the early announcements also include the Gansu Yunhe's drone and the 58-meter "Orca" vessel, both of which will be making their public debuts.

The airshow this year introduces a new second exhibition area, located at the Zhuhai Lianzhou General Aviation Airport. This area will host a series of high-level demonstrations for unmanned systems. The demonstration zone covers 330,000 square meters, with zones for unmanned ship demonstrations on water and static and dynamic displays of drones. Currently, nearly 40 aircraft and nine unmanned boats have registered to participate.

The "second exhibition area" of the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China) aims to accelerate the development of the drone industry. Doumen is leveraging this opportunity, and utilizing its industrial base and advantages to make long-term plans and steadily advance, fostering new growth in the low-altitude economy. Currently, a drone test flight base is under construction, with Phase I located at Lianzhou Airport. This phase includes eVTOLs, test flights of large, medium, and small drones, and a low-altitude flight regulatory service platform.
