As the policy-driven \u201clow-altitude economy\u201d\u00a0(LAE) in China, which could be interpreted as the Chinese version of the advanced air mobility (AAM) for easy understanding, is gaining popularity, it is no surprise that there was a hall dedicated to LAE at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow, and the hall as well as the ramp display area were full of eVTOL models, electric airplanes and large size cargo drones. Here are some of the showcases. Come back often for more follow-up details about the aircraft shown here and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large STOL cargo drone with hybrid-powered distributed electric propulsion for extreme STOL performance and ton-level useful load <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modular flying car of HTAero of Xpeng Auto made the manned demo flight at the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the obsession with the Pop.Up conceptual modular flying car design initiated by Airbus and Audi is as obvious as shown at Zhuhai Airshow<\/p>\n\n\n\n

large fixed wing cargo drone is gaining popularity in China…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

…even the gyroplane is joining the cargo drone hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

fortunately there’s still „classic“ electric airplane for pilots<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eVTOL dominates the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there seems to be just not to have enough eVTOL in full-size or sub-scale models to show the developer’s ambition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

then there are more traditional VTOL designs with conventional turbine power or hybrid electric power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
