On December 4, the WIM 2025 Innovators Annual Conference was held in Beijing, focusing on the transition of the low‑altitude economy from technological breakthroughs to scaled applications. The event highlighted core scenarios such as logistics, emergency response, and urban operations, while exploring industrialization pathways and infrastructure support.
At the conference, Jakkie Mao, Marketing Director of AVIAGE SYSTEMS, delivered a keynote speech titled “Avionics and Flight Control Technologies in the Low-Altitude Economy Era: Intelligent Evolution and Industrial Transformation.”
From the perspective of the upstream supply chain, Jakkie analyzed the current challenges in the low‑altitude economy, including airworthiness standards, industry investment, autonomy and controllability, and operational ecosystems. He emphasized that safety remains the fundamental prerequisite for sustainable development. Drawing on engineering practice, he shared insights into eVTOL airworthiness certification pathways, the evolution of avionics architecture from federated to integrated systems, and the phased application of AI in airborne systems. He noted that the industry is moving from simply “being able to fly” toward the critical stage of “ensuring long‑term safe operations.”
Building on the development and certification experience of the C919’s core avionics systems, AVIAGE SYSTEMS continues to bring civil‑aircraft‑level safety and system capabilities into low‑altitude scenarios. Targeting manned flight and future regional logistics, the company is developing high‑safety, autonomous, and evolvable avionics and flight control solutions, laying a solid foundation for the low‑altitude economy’s transition from exploration to scaled operations.
The low‑altitude economy is not only a race in technology—it is fundamentally a system engineering and safety engineering endeavor.
Looking ahead, AVIAGE SYSTEMS and its subsidiary AvioNova will continue to build on engineering expertise and safety systems, working hand‑in‑hand with industry partners to drive the low‑altitude economy toward standardization, scale, and sustainable growth.
