Arctic Vision's drones are spraying pesticides.
On the morning of March 6, in the tea garden of Dongming Township, Xinchang County, three drones loaded with pesticides were smoothly shuttling between the tea ridges, and the air generated by the rotors evenly sprinkled the fog on the tea leaves. In just a few minutes, the spraying operation of several acres of tea land was completed.
This scene is the epitome of the low-altitude economy entering the production and life of the people of Xinchang, and these drones are also produced locally.
Fly" is a little busy.
At the same time, in the production workshop of Zhejiang Arctic Vision Robot Technology *** Xinchang Factory, located in Xinchang Wanfeng Aviation Town, there was a crisp sound of parts colliding from time to time, and the air was filled with a faint smell of paint. ...... of data related to assembling parts and testingA series of production work is in full swing.
Outside the production workshop, detailed production plans are posted. "Our factory was opened just two days ago, and we are currently producing agricultural drones in small batches, and we are also hurrying to ship them to overseas markets. Guo Dengfeng, the head of the company, told reporters that the intelligent plant protection drone they produced is equipped with many advanced technologies, suitable for different agricultural production scenarios, and has attracted the attention of many domestic and foreign customers by virtue of a series of competitive advantages such as high efficiency and stability, water and drug saving, and precise spreading.
In the aircraft assembly workshop of Wanfeng Aviation Town, not far from "Arctic Vision", it is also full of firepower: a batch of "Diamond DA40" aircraft is being installed and debugged, and the order has been scheduled for 2 years; In the R&D center, the research and development of electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft continues.
We are further expanding the low-altitude economic industry chain and actively promoting the R&D and manufacturing of electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (EVTOLs) and unmanned aerial vehicles. The relevant person in charge of Wanfeng Aircraft Industry said.

Why "fly" fast.
As a typical representative of new quality productivity, the "low-altitude economy" has become a hot emerging industry.
This year's work report proposes to actively build new growth engines such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy. Previously, the low-altitude economy has been listed as a strategic emerging industry in China, and some research units estimate that the scale of the low-altitude economy will exceed 500 billion yuan in 2023, and the scale is expected to exceed 2 trillion yuan by 2030.
Xinchang was able to seize this new track thanks to its deep accumulation and advance layout in this field.
As early as a few years ago, Xinchang High-tech Park was actively planning low-altitude economic industries, and Wanfeng Auto Holding Group was one of the "chain-based" enterprises. In 2014, Wanfeng decided to enter the low-altitude economic track, and since then, through cross-border mergers and acquisitions, the world's leader in general aircraft manufacturing "Diamond Aircraft" has been acquired. Up to now, Wanfeng has the intellectual property rights of 18 models and 4 engines, forming a development model of the whole industry chain of general aviation with the manufacture of aircraft and key parts as the core, airport management, general aviation operation and aviation school training.

As the 'main battlefield' of Xinchang industrial development, with the pilot of the 'chain master' enterprises, we have increased the efforts to attract investment and intelligence, attracted many enterprises to strengthen the chain and supplement the chain, initially formed the upstream and downstream industrial chain, and the industrial agglomeration has achieved initial results. The relevant person in charge of Xinchang High-tech Park said that the completion and commissioning of Wanfeng Aviation Town has produced a good depression effect on domestic UAV manufacturing enterprises, and the low-altitude economic industrial chain has flourished in Xinchang.
In recent years, a number of low-altitude economic projects have been settled in Xinchang, which has greatly promoted the development of the local general aviation manufacturing industry. In 2022, the zero-zero intelligent drone production base project will be put into operation in Xinchang High-tech Park, filling the gap in Xinchang's high-end manufacturing industry for civil drones. After landing in Xinchang, Zhejiang Zero Zero Intelligent Manufacturing has also achieved rapid development, and the company's output value will be 1More than 400 million yuan.
Also choosing to land in Xinchang is Beijing Hangjing Innovation Technology *** Last year, the company decided to invest in the construction of a new project in Wanfeng Aviation Town. It is understood that Hangjing Innovation is deeply engaged in unmanned manufacturing, mainly engaged in the research and development and application of large-load unmanned products, and its products cover many fields such as emergency response and material delivery.
The airspace conditions and test flight conditions here are very good, and there is a good industrial foundation, so we chose to come to Xinchang to establish a R&D and production base to serve the Yangtze River Delta market. Wu Shuang, the person in charge of Zhejiang Hangjing Intelligent Technology, said that Xinchang's new project will be put into operation in the first half of this year, and the project will form an annual production capacity of 400-500 unmanned aircraft with an output value of more than 600 million yuan.
From "starting from scratch" to "accelerating take-off", the development of Xinchang's low-altitude economic industry has been accelerated in an all-round way. In May last year, the 2nd National Light Aircraft Championship was held in Wanfeng Aviation Town, which was the first high-level aviation event held in Xinchang County, and also the first time in Zhejiang Province to host the aviation sports light aircraft project event, which fully demonstrated the unique advantages and broad prospects of Xinchang low-altitude economic industry.

How to "lift off" again
According to the plan, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it will focus on promoting the construction of the provincial platform of Wanfeng Aviation Town, with aircraft R&D and manufacturing as the core, combined with tourism, culture, environment and other resource bases, with general aviation operations, aviation sports, flight experience, driver's license training as the highlights, to drive the development of related industries such as the service industry.

In the future, relying on policy support and development advantages, Xinchang will further expand its industrial territory. "Focusing on the runway reconstruction and expansion project of Wanfeng Airport, Xinchang will greatly increase the number of on-site enterprises, on-site aircraft, operational flights and aviation school training, which will be more suitable for aviation sports events and 'aviation +' cultural tourism activities. Lv Changjun, director of the Xinchang County Transportation Bureau, told reporters that the county plans to open short-distance transportation routes to surrounding cities. At the same time, it will also expand the "Tang Poetry Road in the Air" tourism, and on the basis of the existing 5 low-altitude tour routes, the use of *** and other aircraft types to carry out all-for-one low-altitude tourism. In addition, Hsin Chong will also build a future "low-altitude city", actively introduce new aircraft, and create a future urban air mobility scene.
