Overcoming the Bottleneck of Basic Components for Low-Altitude Aircraft
Key Points
- SHI Qiang is working to reduce the dependence on imported basic components in the low-altitude aircraft industry
- The fully domestic flight control hardware platform was presented with 100% localization of basic components
- High-precision imaging modules and LiDAR enable aircraft to see clearly in low-altitude environments
By the Numbers
The 2026 International Low-Altitude Economy Expo revealed China's low-altitude aircraft industry's dependence on imported basic components. SHI Qiang, a hardware R&D and supply chain platform company, showed that 90% of navigation chips below the 28nm process node are imported, the domestic content of LiDAR is less than 40%, and the required energy density of 400-500 Wh/kg for eVTOL aircraft cannot be achieved.
SHI Qiang presented a fully domestic flight control hardware platform. This platform, with 100% localization of basic components, is compatible with mainstream open-source firmware and can be used in a plug-and-play manner without requiring secondary development.
SHI Qiang also provided high-precision imaging modules and LiDAR algorithms. This enables aircraft to see and judge clearly in complex low-altitude environments.
