National People's Congress representative and Chairman and CEO of Xiaopeng Motors, He Xiaopeng, believes that increasing efforts to encourage the development of flying cars is a major issue for China to develop new quality productivity, promote the scale of manned low altitude economy industry, and promote the improvement of national economy quality and efficiency at the current stage.
"As a new thing, flying cars integrate multiple new technologies, and the certification and review of such innovative products require the support of regulations and standard systems," said He Xiaopeng.
He Xiaopeng suggests clarifying the top-level plan for certification of flying vehicles, increasing investment in certification resources, and forming a phased product certification path. Specifically, he suggested building a framework of technical standards for flying cars to promote the internationalization of Chinese standards; Promote standardization of airworthiness certification work and establish a unified review procedure; Introduce a temporary certification regulatory framework to provide guidance for early testing and operation; Promote airworthiness certification, vehicle model announcement certification, and other work for innovative flying vehicles with amphibious and other configurations.
In response to the trend of intelligence, scale, high density, and low altitude in the future flying car industry, He Xiaopeng suggests building a comprehensive flying car operation system to support the large-scale application of products from multiple aspects such as driver qualifications, airspace, and operation management. Establish a flying vehicle driving qualification certification and training system; Accelerate the opening of low altitude airspace and improve the utilization of airspace resources; Establish a unified regulatory command platform and a low altitude airspace management system.
He Xiaopeng believes that the aviation automobile industry can learn from the policy development experience of the new energy vehicle industry and promote the rapid development of the industry. For example, conducting special research to support the development of the flying car industry, establishing an industry guidance fund, and supporting key core technology breakthroughs; Strengthen land security, coordinate infrastructure and resource support; Carry out application exploration, establish demonstration zones for flying car operations, and establish flying car industry institutions to accelerate the construction of industrial ecosystems; Strengthen commercial support and support the promotion and application of flying cars.
