On July 22, the International Advanced Air Mobility Expo 2026 grandly opened at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). As a high-profile industry event with broad coverage and significant influence in China’s low-altitude economy sector, this year’s expo focuses on the large-scale, commercial, and real-scenario development of the low-altitude industry. It brings together over 450 leading enterprises across the entire value chain, showcasing hundreds of cutting-edge aircraft and over 100 inaugural innovative technologies, offering a comprehensive display of the latest achievements in the low-altitude economy.

Nanjing Weize Chuangli Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (Airfly Tethered), a company deeply committed to the tethered drone core sector, made a major presence at the expo. The company presented its full range of mature tethered drone solutions and multi-scenario application technologies, engaging with industry peers to explore new opportunities in long-endurance low-altitude operations and to e

mpower the high-quality development of the low-altitude industry.

I. Grand Opening – Exploring the Core Highlights of the Expo

This expo stands at the forefront of the industry, bridging the entire chain of “technology demonstration, debut achievements, scenario implementation, and government-enterprise collaboration.” It offers numerous highlights and serves as the premier annual exchange platform for the low-altitude sector:

✅ Full Industry Chain Coverage with Comprehensive Sector Layout
The expo covers seven core sectors: complete low-altitude aircraft, onboard supporting equipment, low-altitude infrastructure, airspace intelligent control, emergency and security applications, and low-altitude commercial services. It features a full range of products including manned eVTOLs, industrial drones, tethered supporting systems, and ground intelligent equipment, presenting a complete picture of the low-altitude industry ecosystem.

✅ Cutting-Edge Technology Debuts Addressing Industry Pain Points
The expo showcases 23 global debuts and 42 domestic debuts of innovative achievements, targeting core industry challenges such as short drone endurance, limited payload, and weak sustained operational capability. Multiple long-endurance, heavy-lift, and intelligent low-altitude equipment made their debut, leading the direction of industrial technology upgrades.

✅ Forums + Live Demonstrations – Packed with Value
The expo concurrently hosts over 80 professional industry forums, covering in-depth discussions on emergency rescue, urban security, power line inspection, low-altitude regulation, and commercial low-altitude services. Complementing these are live drone application demonstrations, visually showcasing the operational capabilities of various low-altitude equipment in real-world scenarios.

✅ Precise Supply-Demand Matching to Accelerate Industry Implementation
The expo attracts government and enterprise buyers from public security, fire rescue, emergency response, power utilities, park operations, and engineering construction, as well as system integrators. It builds an efficient business matching bridge, accelerating the market adoption and large-scale application of new low-altitude technologies, equipment, and solutions.

Among the various specialized sectors, tethered power supply technology stands out with its core advantage of “24/7 uninterrupted aerial station-keeping,” perfectly addressing the endurance limitations of conventional drones. It has become a highly popular sector at the expo and a core enabling technology for routine low-altitude operational scenarios.

II. Strong Presence – Airfly Tethered’s Core Exhibitions Steal the Show
