Co-hosted by the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Zigong Municipal Government, the 10th International Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Innovation Grand Prix kicked off on at the Zigong Aviation Industrial Park on Nov. 22. The event bought together 112 teams and more than 600 students with their faculty representatives from across China. Participants gathered in Zigong to explore the frontiers of aviation technology and contribute to the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy.
This year's competition focuses on cutting-edge areas such as artificial intelligence and autonomous navigation. Three core tracks were designed to highlight both innovation and real-world applicability. The first being a creative design competition for intelligent vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. The second being a physical flight competition and thirdly, the application of skills competition. Each category requires contestants to complete demanding technical maneuvers under specific scenarios or demonstrate breakthrough design concepts. These comprehensively test the UAVs' performance and application potential in complex environments.
The grand prix has been held since 2011 and has grown into one of China's most influential and authoritative platforms for UAV technology innovation. Upholding its dual focus on innovation and science popularization, the event has evolved from a single competition into a major industry gathering. By integrating innovation contests, results exhibitions, industry matchmaking and science education, it now serves as an efficient platform for talent development, technological breakthroughs, and the commercialization of new achievements in aviation science and technology.
