Kitefly Tethered will participate in the 2026 World Drone Congress and Shenzhen International UAV Expo, taking place from May 21 to 23, 2026, at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, Futian, Shenzhen, China.
Visitors are welcome to meet the Kitefly Tethered team at Booth 9C130, where we will present a range of industrial tethered drone power systems and application-based solutions for professional UAV operations.
As the global low-altitude economy continues to expand, tethered drone systems are becoming increasingly important for missions that require stable power supply, long-duration flight, and safer operation in demanding environments. At this year’s exhibition, Kitefly Tethered will focus on three key application areas: high-altitude cleaning, firefighting support, and long-duration aerial lighting.

Kitefly Tethered will showcase tethered power solutions designed for drone-based high-altitude cleaning operations, including building facade cleaning, industrial structure cleaning, and other elevated work scenarios.
Compared with traditional rope-access or manual high-altitude work, tethered drone cleaning can help reduce direct human exposure to dangerous heights. By using a ground-based power supply and an airborne power module, the drone can perform longer cleaning tasks without relying only on onboard batteries.
This solution is suitable for customers looking for a more efficient and safer way to support exterior cleaning, especially where continuous operation time and stable power delivery are important.
Firefighting and emergency response are another important focus at the exhibition.
Kitefly Tethered will present tethered drone power systems that can support long-duration aerial operation for firefighting-related tasks, such as elevated fire monitoring, emergency lighting, and auxiliary water-spraying or firefighting payload applications.
For high-rise buildings, industrial parks, warehouses, and complex emergency environments, tethered drones can provide continuous aerial presence while receiving power from the ground. This makes them useful for missions where short battery endurance may limit traditional drone operation.
Kitefly Tethered will also display tethered drone solutions for long-duration aerial lighting.
This type of system can be applied in night construction, emergency rescue, disaster response, outdoor events, border security, and temporary field operations. With tethered power support, lighting drones can remain airborne for extended periods and provide stable illumination from above.
For users who need temporary, flexible, and elevated lighting without fixed towers or heavy installation work, tethered drone lighting can offer a practical solution.
In addition to application solutions, Kitefly Tethered will exhibit multiple self-developed tethered power products, including ground power supply units, airborne power modules, tether cables, and related system accessories.
The exhibition will provide visitors with the opportunity to understand how a complete tethered drone power system works, including:
· Ground power conversion
· High-voltage tethered power transmission
· Airborne DC power conversion
· Drone platform adaptation
· Application payload integration
· Cable management and field deployment
Kitefly Tethered’s team will be available on site to discuss technical details, project requirements, system matching, and customized solutions for different UAV platforms and industrial scenarios.
The low-altitude economy is creating new opportunities for UAV applications in public safety, infrastructure maintenance, industrial services, emergency response, and smart city operations.
Kitefly Tethered believes that reliable tethered power technology will play an important role in this development. By extending drone operation time and supporting mission-specific payloads, tethered drone systems can help transform UAVs from short-duration flying tools into more practical industrial work platforms.
At the 2026 World Drone Congress and Shenzhen International UAV Expo, Kitefly Tethered looks forward to meeting global partners, drone manufacturers, system integrators, distributors, industrial users, and emergency response professionals.

A tethered drone power system is used to supply continuous power from the ground to a UAV through a tether cable. It is commonly applied in long-duration missions such as aerial monitoring, lighting, cleaning, communication relay, emergency response, and firefighting support.
Tethered drones are useful for industrial applications because they can support longer flight times, stable power supply, and mission-specific payloads. They are especially suitable for tasks where standard battery-powered drones may not provide enough endurance.
Yes. Tethered drone systems can support drone-based high-altitude cleaning by providing continuous power during facade cleaning, industrial cleaning, and other elevated cleaning operations.
Tethered drones can support firefighting-related operations such as aerial monitoring, emergency lighting, and auxiliary firefighting payload applications. The final configuration depends on the drone platform, payload, power requirements, and operating environment.
