ZHT Aero Showcases 100kg Payload Drone at Zhaoqing Low-Altitude Economy Promotion Conference

On August 28th, the “Zhaoqing Low-Altitude Economy Development Promotion Conference,” hosted by the Zhaoqing Municipal Government, was grandly held. The conference attracted over 450 entrepreneurs and industry experts from the domestic and international low-altitude economy sectors.

Our company was invited to the event, bringing our KEEL series drones with payload capacities ranging from 10 to 100 kilograms, traveling over 2,000 kilometers to the conference venue. Among them, the KEEL Pro 50-kilogram drone made its debut appearance.

The KEEL Pro and KEEL Max are fully electric quadcopters that have undergone extensive testing. They are crafted with forged carbon fiber, a material with a more complex process and superior performance compared to traditional carbon fiber, which further reduces the overall weight of the drone while enabling it to handle high-intensity loads. The material features an irregular pattern resembling a marble texture, creating a unique visual effect that is highly favored in high-end products such as luxury goods, car interiors, and watches. This is the first time it has been applied to a drone, breaking away from the conventional look and capturing the attention of many attendees.

The core design philosophy of the KEEL series drones centers around “extreme modularity.” This concept endows the products with exceptional rapid deployment capabilities, extensive compatibility, easy maintenance, and unparalleled expansion potential. The KEEL Pro and KEEL Max perfectly embody this philosophy and, after rigorous testing, are set to be officially launched soon. Stay tuned!

At the conference, the “Zhaoqing City Low-Altitude Economy Development Action Plan (2024-2026)” was released. The plan aims to establish a low-altitude economy in Zhaoqing by 2026, characterized by smooth management mechanisms, well-developed infrastructure, a robust industrial system, and an expanding range of application scenarios.

Zhaoqing City covers a vast area and features diverse terrains such as mountains, lakes, urban areas, rivers, forests, springs, and gorges, offering a wide range of flight scenarios needed by low-altitude enterprises, excluding ocean settings. In recent years, Zhaoqing has actively promoted the extensive use of drones in areas such as power line inspection, agricultural protection, emergency rescue, and social governance. The market potential for providing public services through drones is enormous.

The KEEL drone overcomes the challenges of developing an H-frame structure, offering exceptional stability and agile maneuverability. It has an empty flight time of up to 120 minutes (with an optional 160-minute version) and can reach speeds of up to 30 m/s to quickly arrive at the scene. Equipped with payload devices such as a 4K-capable HD gimbal, infrared thermal imaging camera, laser rangefinder, and loudspeaker, it enables automated on-site inspections and real-time video transmission, greatly reducing manpower and increasing operational efficiency. Additionally, the KEEL can be fitted with a drop device to deliver essential supplies in emergency situations.

The KEEL Pro and KEEL Max heavy-lift logistics drones are designed to efficiently transport medical supplies, essential goods, tools, and equipment to remote and hard-to-reach areas, such as mountainous regions, islands, or other transport-challenged locations. This capability ensures that supply chains remain smooth and operational, making previously inaccessible areas within reach.In disaster relief scenarios, these drones can swiftly deliver food, water, medicines, and rescue equipment, where every second counts and can be a matter of life and death.

Looking ahead, ZHT Aero is committed to unlocking more application scenarios, continuing to advance technology, and expanding market reach. We look forward to further strengthening our collaboration with the Zhaoqing Municipal Government and relevant departments, exploring the limitless possibilities of the low-altitude economy, and creating more value for society.
