As the main venue for the World Drone Games, Chengdu Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone leverages its local industrial foundation and innovation resources in the low-altitude economy sector. It promotes a dual-core development model of "complete aircraft development + operation services", represented by electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and medium-to-large industrial drones. The zone has initially built a full-industry-chain ecosystem covering research, development and design, complete aircraft manufacturing, operation management, and scenario application. It has gathered 104 enterprises in the low-altitude economy ecosystem, accounting for over 70% of the city’s low-altitude economy chain-leading enterprises. In November 2025, the Sichuan Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone Low-Altitude Aircraft Manufacturing Standardization Pilot was successfully selected as a 2025 national standardization pilot project.
