原文:http://shenzhen.chinacompositesexpo.com/en/news-detail-92-16916.htmlThe AS700 manned airship, independently developed by the Special Aircraft Research Institute of AVIC, is the country's first manned airship designed in compliance with airworthiness regulations and boasts complete independent intellectual property rights. It measures 50 meters in total length, has a maximum range of 700 kilometers, and can carry up to 10 passengers.
According to the chief designer of the "Xiangyun" AS700 manned airship model, the airship's envelope is made of a high-strength, low-leakage, low-temperature-resistant, and anti-aging non-metallic multilayer composite material. It is filled with inert helium gas as the lifting gas, which is non-flammable, non-combustible, and ensures high safety.
With its distinctive features of "low-altitude, slow-speed flight, safety, and reliability," the airship offers tourists an immersive "flying through a painting" experience by providing breathtaking aerial views of the picturesque Jiangnan water towns from an optimal sightseeing altitude of 100 to 300 meters. Currently, there are no competing products of the same kind in China, giving it a clear advantage.
This delivery signifies a new beginning for the Special Aircraft Research Institute and Yuecheng District, Shaoxing, to collaborate deeply in building a comprehensive industrial chain for manned airships and jointly develop a low-altitude economy ecosystem.
Moving forward, the Special Aircraft Research Institute will continue to advance in the field of low-altitude equipment, iteratively optimize product performance, and expand diverse application scenarios such as aerial tourism, emergency rescue, advertising, and customized educational tours. Through technological innovation, it aims to support the high-quality development of China's low-altitude economy, allowing self-developed manned airships to soar across the skies of more cities.
