① For citizens, in the past few years, large and small drone performances have not only added a lot of technological interest to people's daily lives, but also made more and more people understand and love drones.

② In 2023, Chengdu's "Government Work Report" proposed that Chengdu should focus on industry to build a strong chain, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, and build the first city of industrial drones in China.

"Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" February 14 (Reporter Huang Xiumei) Traditional New Year customs across the country have been updated. There is a brand-new and exciting element that enriches the traditional New Year flavor. That is technology.

Chengdu, which has the reputation of "China's science fiction capital", unveiled the prelude to the whole new year with the 2024 zodiac Chinese dragon by the Qinhuang lake on the eve of the lunar new year.

A golden dragon roared up to the sky, "flying out" of the tiled roof digital screen of Tianfu International Conference Center. With the launch of the drone formation, the entire performance scene changed from static to dynamic:

unmanned aerial vehicles gather in the night sky from all directions and form a huge city flower-hibiscus flower, which slowly blooms in the night sky. During the downward fall of hibiscus flowers, the silhouettes of Chengdu landmarks such as 339 TV Tower, Tianfu Kechuang Ecological Island, Giant Panda and Gaiwancha appeared in the sky in response to urban elements.

A total of seven 3D picture scrolls, with the cooperation of 3000 drones, sound, light and electricity, accompanied the audience by the lake to watch the year of the dragon.

This is not the first time that such a large-scale drone show has been held in Chengdu. When the Chengdu World Science Fiction Conference was held in 2023, the carefully designed and choreographed 1000 unmanned aerial vehicles opened the curtain of the "Science Fiction Capital of China" grand gathering by showing six groups of science fiction-style 3D images of star birth, nuclear cave, star river and science dream.

Citizens are busy chasing drones

For Chengdu citizens, in the past few years, large and small drone performances have not only added a lot of technological interest to people's daily lives, but also allowed more and more people to understand and love drones., And learn to fly drones.

"Last year's science fiction conference and this year's New Year's Eve drone show I chased, usually large and small festival drone show I also have to see. In the past, the festival is a variety of song and dance performances, these years the festival is a combination of technology and local characteristics, the side of the small partners think it's not bad."

Zeng Yi is one of the spectators who follow drone performances all the year round. He works at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. Because he deals with airplanes all the year round, he also obtained a CAAC drone pilot license within the sight range not long ago.

"Within sight distance is the most basic UAV driver's license. It cannot fly independently and requires a long command to fly." Zeng Yi told the reporter of "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" that he will continue to fly and learn until he reaches the standard of the next level of driver's license, because "the future drone pilot is also a new professional skill."

Mr. Wang, from Pengzhou City, Chengdu, is one of the "parents" who brought their children to watch the drone show on New Year's Eve. In order to encourage his son to sprint for the college entrance examination in the last semester, Mr. Wang promised to send his child to learn a drone driver's license after the college entrance examination, and to buy a "DJI" drone as an adult gift.

Mr. Wang introduced that the reason why his son is obsessed with drones is also related to Pengzhou's possession of the second and only drone flight base in the country and the national "civil unmanned aviation test base.

In early December last year, the 2023 Sichuan University Student Future Aircraft Challenge came to a successful conclusion in Pengzhou. The competition attracted a total of 233 teams from colleges and universities across the country to participate in the competition, and more than 600 aircraft enthusiasts competed in Pengzhou.

The civil unmanned aviation test base that hosted this grand competition is the "Eye of the Sky" UAV flight base located in Guihua Town, Pengzhou City. The "Eye of the Sky" is backed by the Longmen Mountains and faces the Jianjiang River Valley. It has a radius of 3 kilometers centered on the base. A drone that flies 300 meters high can achieve "flying at will".

" at present, the base has more than 60 unmanned aerial vehicle research and development, production and training units such as Chengdu vertical and horizontal, Xi 'an antelope control, etc. to carry out business. 7 units have been stationed for a long time to carry out test flights and tests, with an average daily flight volume of more than 100 sorties, pushing many new products of domestic unmanned aerial vehicle head enterprises to pass tests, successfully mass production and enter the market. " Zhou Xiaoming, head of the base, said that the base's revenue growth rate exceeded 100 in the past three years.

Enterprise Applications Drone Busy

UAV performance can be arranged in three-dimensional space, combined with sound, light, electricity and other traditional performance forms and carriers, and bring people a new viewing experience through the creativity of pictures and plots.

Chengdu century chengmei technology co., ltd. is the responsible team for the unmanned aerial vehicle performance by Qinhuang lake in Chengdu on new year's eve this year. according to its general manager Liu cairui's previous introduction, during the spring festival this year, the company's unmanned aerial vehicle formation performance was about two months ahead of schedule, and the orders were already full. According to preliminary statistics, during the Spring Festival, the company had a total of more than 40 performances nationwide.

It is worth noting that the UAV performance is only one of the most daily application scenarios in the Chengdu UAV industry chain. In addition to the aforementioned cultural tourism scene, as one of Chengdu's current 28 key industrial chains, industrial-grade drones are Chengdu's advantageous areas.

Chengdu not only has scientific research institutions such as Chengdu aviation vocational and technical college and Chengdu aircraft design and research institute of aviation industry, but also has industrial-grade unmanned aerial vehicle chain main enterprises such as China unmanned aerial vehicle (688297), vertical and horizontal shares (688070), tengdun kechuang and proud technology, representing Chengdu's scientific innovation force in industrial-grade unmanned aerial vehicles.

in 2021, Chengdu vertical and horizontal shares under the name of "UAV first share" landed on the board, its core products-vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drones, multi-rotor drones, large-load drones and other mainly used in mapping and geographic information, security monitoring, energy inspection, emergency, defense and other fields.

the unmanned aerial vehicles of Chengdu vertical and horizontal shares have participated in many rescue and disaster relief activities such as the fire in Zhangyi Town, Guyuan, Ningxia, the rainstorm in Henan, the flood situation in Xinjiang, Shanxi, the fire in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and the mountain fire in Chongqing.

"Shenzhen is the industrial center of consumer drones, and Chengdu is the industrial center of industrial drones." Talking about the status of Chengdu industrial unmanned aerial vehicles, Ren Bin, chairman of the board of directors of Chengdu Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Association, once said so.

city painting industry economy busy

Industrial-grade drones are originally a "small" industry in a huge industrial field. Chengdu has formed a certain industrial foundation because of the gathering of a number of complete machine enterprises such as China drones and vertical and horizontal shares.

at present, the industrial chain of industrial unmanned aerial vehicles in Chengdu includes raw materials, basic components and systems, complete machine manufacturing and operation services. the industrial chain gathers more than 100 upstream and downstream enterprises, realizing full coverage of unmanned aerial vehicles from 10kg to tonnage.

at the end of 2021, Chengdu proposed for the first time to vigorously implement the action of building a strong chain of industrial circles, taking key industrial chains such as industrial drones as the object of cultivation, and pointing to world-class industrial clusters. At the beginning of 2023, Chengdu's "Government Work Report" first proposed the development goal of building "China's first industrial drone city.

In less than two years of the strong chain operation under construction, Chengdu's drone industry has been advancing all the way, with an average annual growth rate of more than 20% in industrial output value, ranking the top three in the national industrial comprehensive competitiveness list.

in 2022, 9 complete machine manufacturing enterprises such as China unmanned aerial vehicle, vertical and horizontal shares and tengdun technology will realize operating income of 4.1 billion yuan, up 23% year on year, driving the income of the whole industrial chain to exceed 8 billion yuan.

On the whole, Chengdu's drone industry has formed a "industrial-grade drone" as the core, integrating R & D, manufacturing, operation, and service, and corporate industry and public consumption as the main application scenarios. The beautiful vision of "China's first industrial drone city" is gradually showing a clear picture. Collection
