Tag along with Jason at CISCE: The low-altitude economy takes off

Tag along with Jason at CISCE: The low-altitude economy takes off describes how China’s low-altitude sector is showcasing end-to-end capabilities at CISCE in Beijing. In a report dated June 25, 2026, Jason visits a Zhejiang pavilion featuring a 50-metre-long manned airship developed by the China Special Vehicle Research Institute. The airship is described as able to carry 10 people up to 700 kilometers, using a rotatable propulsion system that can hover and operate in confined spaces for sightseeing and emergency rescues. Jason then reviews Huasheng Radar’s weather monitoring devices and an integrated network spanning batteries, flight control, and drone pilot training. At another booth, China Henan Aviation Group demonstrates an “Eagle Eye” infrared system and a search-and-rescue payload designed to locate trapped survivors by tracking faint mobile signals, technology already cited as used overnight during Henan floods. The coverage also includes Mi-26 heavy-lift helicopter models tied to the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and raw-material research by Jilin Chemical Fiber Group on carbon-fiber precursors.
