The 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) officially opens on April 15th. During Phase 1 of this fair, running from April 15th to 19th, a notable new addition makes its debut: two dedicated zones for Consumer Drones and Agricultural Drones, located in Hall 20.2 of Area D and Hall 8.0 of Area A at the China Import and Export Fair Complex, respectively.

Terms once confined to the lab, such as flight control systems, communication and navigation systems, AI-powered obstacle avoidance and new-energy propulsion technologies, have now been embodied in real aircraft that visitors can see up close and experience firsthand. From high-precision real-time kinematic (RTK) navigation and tethered hovering to intelligent spraying, the showcase of integrated capabilities vividly illustrates how China's drone industry has progressed from catching up to setting the pace.

As exhibitors based in Guangzhou, the city's drone companies are putting their flagship technologies on display. Since its establishment in 2025, Guangdong Yesheen Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. has obtained three special flight permits for ultralight eVTOL aircraft, making it one of the few aircraft manufacturers worldwide to hold all three. Its rapid achievement underscores Guangzhou's strong capabilities in the fast-growing low-altitude economy. Guangzhou Chengzhi Intelligent Machine Technology Co., Ltd.'s tethered hover light drone is designed for nighttime applications such as camping, family gatherings and emergency illumination, offering a practical and user-friendly solution that brings advanced technology closer to everyday life. Guangzhou Zhuhang Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in major national aviation projects, including projects related to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Sanya's new airport and Shenzhen's airspace optimization, contributing technical expertise to China's aviation development. Meanwhile, Guangdong Yufei Aviation Investment Co., Ltd.'s Yutu A100, billed as the world's first ultralight foldable eVTOL aircraft, has emerged as a major highlight of the exhibition zone, thanks to its combination of portability and innovation.

广交会首设无人机专区，一条新产业链正飞向全球

4月15日，第139届广交会将正式拉开帷幕。本届广交会第一期（4月15日至19日）期间，一个新鲜面孔格外引人注目——消费级无人机与农业无人机两大专区将首次亮相，分别位于广交会展馆D区20.2展厅与A区8.0展厅。

飞控系统、通信导航、AI避障、新能源动力……这些曾经停留在实验室的关键词，如今化为一台台可触摸、可体验的飞行平台。RTK高精度导航、系留悬停、智能喷洒，一项项系统能力的集中呈现，清晰勾勒出我国无人机产业从“跟跑”到“领跑”的创新轨迹。

作为东道主的广州无人机企业，这次拿出了“看家本领”。晔生航空科技自2025年成立以来，已手握三张超轻型eVTOL特许飞行证，成为全球少数同时持有三证的整机厂家之一——这种“加速度”折射出广州在低空经济赛道上的硬核实力；成至智能的系留悬浮灯无人机精准切入露营、家庭聚会、应急照明等夜间场景，实用又便捷，让高科技不再高高在上；广州筑航深度参与粤港澳大湾区、三亚新机场、深圳空域优化等国家级航空工程，用专业技术托举起国家航空事业的发展；羽飞航空带来的全球首款超轻型可折叠电动垂直起降产品“羽兔A100”，凭借便携与创新的双重优势，成为展区当之无愧的焦点。
