链接长三角 上海计划3年内迈向“世界eVTOL之都”

Core Viewpoint - Shanghai aims to establish itself as a global hub for eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft) by 2028, targeting a core industry scale of approximately 80 billion yuan and attracting 10 leading manufacturers in the sector [1][2]. Group 1: Measures and Goals - The measures include 16 support initiatives across four areas: equipment R&D and manufacturing, industrial ecology, Yangtze River Delta collaboration, and application scenarios [2]. - By 2028, the goal is to cultivate and attract 10 leading manufacturers in eVTOL, industrial-grade drones, and new energy aviation aircraft, achieving a production capacity of over 500 new aircraft and generating an additional investment of over 20 billion yuan in the industry chain [1][2]. Group 2: Industry Development and Trends - The low-altitude economy in Shanghai has attracted a significant number of startups, with at least 251 companies in the sector, including 66 manufacturers of eVTOL, drones, and helicopters [1]. - The industry is expected to experience a "certification boom" between 2026 and 2027, which is crucial for the commercialization of low-altitude aircraft [2]. Group 3: Technological and Financial Support - The measures encourage companies to enhance their efforts in developing various eVTOL technologies, such as compound wings and tilt-rotor systems, to facilitate industrialization [2]. - Financial support initiatives include guiding low-altitude industry funds to collaborate with social capital for equity investments and supporting insurance institutions to innovate low-altitude insurance products [3]. Group 4: Regional Collaboration - The Yangtze River Delta region is seen as having complementary strengths in low-altitude economic development, with opportunities for collaborative development and resource optimization [4].
