China’s general aviation manufacturing industry progresses
A senior official said Thursday that China’s general aviation manufacturing industry has burgeoned in recent years, with the output rising nearly 60 per cent year on year in 2023.
In 2023, China delivered more than 3.17 million civilian drones, and the output of the general aviation manufacturing sector exceeded about $7.18 billion U.S.
Shan Zhongde, vice minister of industry and information technology, said this during a news conference.
According to incomplete statistics, he said China had over 2,300 civilian drone research and development enterprises by the end of 2023, and more than 1,000 drone models had been mass-produced.
Mr Shan added that the ministry would work with other authorities to accelerate the development of a low-altitude economy in the future.
