The single-person jet suit presented by the Guangdong Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology uses distributed-vector turboprop propulsion, offering features such as flexible response and low deployment dependence. It can carry a load of 70-90 kilograms and fly for approximately 5 minutes, making it suitable for tasks like rescue and law enforcement.

Innovative products, including autonomous underwater vehicles, underwater inspection equipment, AI-powered lower-limb exoskeletons, and water quality monitoring unmanned surface vessels, were also showcased together, highlighting Nansha's cluster-style technological prowess in fields such as high-end equipment and artificial intelligence.
