zhejiang has been forging ahead for 75 years and writing a magnificent chapter. it has always been practical, leading the way and standing at the forefront. it took the lead in launching market-oriented reforms, giving birth to china's first private enterprise, the first professional market, and the first joint-stock cooperative, and the private economy has flourished. entering the digital age, zhejiang still stands at the forefront and becomes a leading province in the development of the digital economy, and the innovative development of the platform economy is at the forefront of the country.

in recent years, zhejiang has insisted on giving priority to enhancing scientific and technological innovation capabilities, vigorously promoted the deepening of innovation and the construction of a scientific and technological innovation system, improved the overall coordination mechanism, continuously opened up new fields and new tracks for high-quality development, and accelerated the creation of new momentum and new advantages.

as one of the representative industries of new productivity, "low-altitude economy" is a hot word this year. as one of the earliest provinces to develop low-altitude economy, zhejiang has successively issued a series of top-level design documents, taking low-altitude economy as a breakthrough point to build a high-level and high-energy airport hub and a modern aviation industry cluster.

cctv reporter yu chen: at the taizhou bay new district airport in zhejiang, a runway with a total length of 1,200 meters and a width of 30 meters was first completed and put into use in march this year. the drones produced in the park no longer need to be sent outside for test flights after they come off the production line. they can all be done here, which greatly saves the company's costs. this has also become the only general airport in zhejiang province that is mainly used for drone test flights.

there are more than a dozen drones and manned aircraft of various shapes parked at the airport, all of which are waiting for test flights today. these aircraft have a characteristic that they are all manufactured in taizhou and delivered here. for example, a changying 6a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drone successfully carried large yellow croaker from dachen island, jiaojiang, taizhou to taizhou bay new district airport in zhejiang province in may this year, shortening the original 2.5 hours required for water transportation to 25 minutes. this is also the first land-island intermodal drone logistics route opened in zhejiang province. in the future, there will be more and more such routes in zhejiang, and achieving "seafood freedom" is no longer a dream.

weihang internet-connected uav is currently the first vertical take-off and landing uav in china that uses 5g public network links. it can realize information transmission and storage in the 5g network, and can process image data in flight without distance restrictions. for example, a pilot in hangzhou can freely control the uav in taizhou. the uav has a flight time of up to 3 hours and a maximum cruising range of 240 kilometers. it is suitable for power grid, transportation, coastline inspection, etc.

in addition to drones, there are also manned aircraft on site. the world's first flying saucer-shaped pure electric manned aircraft is very "cool", with a 360-degree view without blind spots, and can take off and land on the water, making scenes from science fiction movies a reality.

the reporter learned that the terminal building of taizhou bay new district airport will also be completed by the end of this year, by which time drones and manned aircraft will be able to fly in unison. with taizhou bay new district airport as the center, more than 70 upstream and downstream companies in the aerospace industry chain have gathered in taizhou bay new district. the 280,000 square meter aerospace complex and the 350,000 square meter aerospace supporting industrial park have been fully built. from parts production and whole machine manufacturing to drone applications and aviation culture excavation, by 2028, zhejiang taizhou will be built into a national advanced drone industry highland, and the core industry scale will reach 30 billion yuan.
