Aerospace CH UAV Co, based in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, recently announced a major achievement as its CH-4 drone secured China's first special airworthiness certificate for large civil drones from the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

The CH-4 offers industrial-grade capabilities surpassing consumer-grade drones, with a flight endurance of 30 to 40 hours and impressive payload capacity.

This achievement also plays a crucial role in the city's development of the low-altitude economy. Taizhou Bay New Area has expedited the development of supporting facilities, with the establishment of Taizhou Bay New Area Airport in March and the ongoing progress in developing the air route network, ground facilities network, and flight service network. 

Additionally, a drone pilot training base in collaboration with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of China has begun operating in the Taizhou Low-Altitude Economy Industrial Park.
