Since July 20, coastal areas in the central and southern parts of Fujian Province have been hit by gales of force 8 to 10 and continuous heavy rains under the influence of Typhoon Wipha's outer circulation, which triggered the threats of secondary disasters, such as urban and rural waterlogging and landslides, across multiple regions. In response to the flood emergency, the "Twin-Tailed Scorpion A", a large, fixed-wing, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) rescue platform independently developed by Sichuan Tengden Sci-tech Innovation Co., Ltd., was rapidly deployed for disaster monitoring and emergency coordination missions.
Since the beginning of this year, Sichuan-manufactured UAVs such as the Twin-Tailed Scorpion have repeatedly participated in emergency rescue operations, continuously expanding their application scenarios. Zhang Jiewei, Deputy Party Secretary of Tengden Sci-tech Innovation, stated, "We are accelerating the construction of our headquarters base project. Upon completion, it will further attract enterprises across the UAV industrial chain to cluster, strengthening the development of the low-altitude economy."
As part of low-altitude economy development efforts, Tengden Sci-tech Innovation's headquarters base project—with a total investment exceeding two billion yuan and spanning 100 mu (6.67 hectares)—is on track to complete its main structural work this year and begin full operations by late next year. "The project is positioned as an innovation hub for the low-altitude economy and UAV technology, primarily designed to enhance capabilities in rapidly adapting to market demands and accelerating the commercialization of technological achievements." Zhang Jiewei stated that the company would also focus on such fields as overcoming technical challenges, creating application scenarios, exploring airspace utilization, and building a low-altitude industry ecosystem, in a bid to further advance the development of the low-altitude economy and UAV industrialization.
In Youxian District, Mianyang, the infrastructure construction project (Phase I) of the Aviation and Gas Turbine Supporting Industrial Park is currently in full swing. The industrial park has a planned total investment of approximately 16.4 billion yuan, encompassing facilities such as standardized factories, a drone R&D center, a low-altitude flight support and emergency rescue equipment development center, and a small-to-medium distributed gas turbine R&D center. Upon completion, the industrial park will serve as a core platform for Mianyang to establish itself as a nationally influential hub for high-tech intelligent manufacturing in the aviation engine and gas turbine industries. The project is being constructed in two phases, with Phase I expected to be completed in November and delivered in December.
The industrial park is adjacent to the experimental research base of AECC Sichuan Gas Turbine Establishment (624 Institute) and falls within a 30-minute commuting radius, benefiting from a well-developed regional transportation network. Leveraging its strategic location and supporting advantages, the industrial park attracts prospective projects such as low-altitude drone remote sensing, aerospace equipment exhibitions, and nano-coating materials for potential settlement. Liu Dongxu, Chief Engineer of Mianyang Fule Investment Co., Ltd., stated that the industrial park is projected to achieve an output value exceeding eight billion yuan by 2027, with the goal of establishing itself as a nationally influential aviation and gas turbine industry base by 2030.
The construction of new energy projects is also accelerating. Ninety-eight days to complete industrial plant construction, three months to achieve mass production—Deyang Sunwoda New Energy Co., Ltd., with a total investment of ten billion yuan, is being developed in two phases. The first phase includes three production lines with an annual designed capacity of 25 GWh, of which 17 GWh has already been commissioned. The product line primarily features 314Ah energy storage battery cells, mainly deployed in the energy storage applications spanning commercial/industrial energy storage, grid-scale power storage, residential energy storage systems, network power infrastructure, and smart energy solutions. In the first half of the year, the company delivered outstanding performance results: with an output value of 1.29 billion yuan, representing a remarkable year-on-year growth of 221 percent, while both delivery volume and shipment volume doubled compared to the same period last year. "We are building the third production line," said Tang Haoran, Deputy General Manager of Sunwoda. The company, in collaboration with its partners, is developing products with the maximum energy storage capacity on the current market. It is expected that the battery capacity will be more than twice that of existing mainstream products, and there will be a leap-forward improvement in both energy density and system efficiency, Tang further highlighted.
From the low-altitude economy and aviation/gas turbine sectors to the lithium battery and energy storage industries, Sichuan Province is demonstrating robust momentum in its key project development. According to data from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the province's 810 key projects completed 501.98 billion yuan in investment during the first half of the year, achieving 63.4 percent of their annual investment target.
