Six major low-altitude aviation technologies developed by the Tianmushan Laboratory were unveiled and launched on May 10 in Pingyao town, Yuhang district, marking a new step in Hangzhou's efforts to turn cutting-edge research into industrial applications.

The announcements were made at the Tianmushan Laboratory Low-Altitude Economy Conference and China AOPA Electric Ultralight Aircraft Innovation Development Conference, held at the Beihang University Hangzhou International Campus.

The event brought together academicians, industry experts and business representatives to discuss the integration of technological innovation and industrial development in the rapidly growing low-altitude economy sector.

The six newly released technologies include a next-generation hydrogen-powered aviation system, a short takeoff and landing cargo drone, an intelligent heavy-lift unmanned helicopter, a control system for a light passenger eVTOL aircraft, a high-payload multirotor drone, and the TMS800 turbofan engine.

All six projects have been introduced to Pingyao, where they will benefit from the town's expanding innovation ecosystem, policy support and commercialization platforms.

The technologies address key industry challenges ranging from green aviation propulsion and advanced engines to cargo transport and intelligent aerial mobility.

In recent years, Pingyao has strengthened collaboration with Tianmushan Laboratory and Beihang University, helping build an innovation hub focused on aerospace and low-altitude technologies. The town has attracted multiple high-level research platforms, supported more than 10 Beihang-related technology transfer projects, and established Zhejiang's first provincial future factory in Yuhang district.
