VTOL Congress & Expo 2026

The global low-altitude economy is entering a period of rapid development. In 2024, the “low-altitude economy” was included in the Chinese Government Work Report for the first time, signifying its elevation to a national strategy. It is projected that by 2026, China’s eVTOL market size will exceed RMB 100 billion, with the overall scale of the low-altitude economy being even larger, demonstrating immense development potential. Against this backdrop, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, as the core equipment of the low-altitude economy, have attracted significant attention for their development.

They can not only effectively alleviate traditional traffic congestion and improve commuting efficiency through three-dimensional spatial distribution but also demonstrate significant advantages in areas such as emergency response and logistics distribution. However, the industry also faces common challenges including technological breakthroughs, airworthiness certification, and airspace management.

This forum aims to build a comprehensive industry chain exchange platform for the global VTOL sector, covering the entire process from design and manufacturing to commercial operation. You will have the opportunity to gain in-depth understanding of the latest policy trends, technological innovations, and application scenarios, and establish direct connections with OEMs, operators, and infrastructure suppliers to jointly promote the refinement and development of the low-altitude economy ecosystem.
