The Ministry of Transport’s Key Laboratory of Low-altitude Transportation Equipment and Systems settled in Hangzhou

China News Service, Hangzhou, November 13 (Bao Mengni) On November 13, the kick-off meeting for the construction of the Key Laboratory of Low-altitude Transportation Equipment and Systems of the Ministry of Transport (hereinafter referred to as the "Key Laboratory") was held at Beihang International Campus in Hangzhou.

Zhao Weisheng, director of the Tianmushan Laboratory and vice president of Beihang University, said in his speech that the key laboratory is located in Hangzhou. Relying on the Tianmushan Laboratory and co-constructed by Beihang University and Beijing Jiaotong University, it is a major event for ministry-provincial cooperation and the integration of science and education. It is also an important carrier for Beihang to serve the construction of a strong transportation country and the high-quality development of Zhejiang's low-altitude economy. The approval of the key laboratory marks a new stage of Tianmushan Laboratory moving from "single point breakthrough" to "system integration" in the field of low-altitude transportation.

The appointment ceremony of the first academic committee and industrial expert advisory committee of the key laboratory was held on site to provide important intellectual support for the key laboratory.

The meeting also held a signing ceremony for the workstation of Fan Weicheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Fan Weicheng is a academic leader in the field of public safety and emergency management in China, and safety is the prerequisite and bottom line for the stable and long-term development of the low-altitude economy. The academician workstation is located in the Tianmushan Laboratory this time, which will add the "safety" puzzle to the innovation system of the key laboratory and promote low-altitude transportation from "flying" to "flying safely and flying long-term".

Li Zhisheng, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Transportation, expressed the hope that key laboratories will take the initiative to connect with major scientific and technological directions such as Zhejiang's low-altitude economy, strengthen coordination with the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Science and Technology and other departments, better connect scientific research layout and industrial needs, and promote the implementation and transformation of more results in Zhejiang. At the same time, key laboratories must actively strive to participate in major national science and technology projects to enhance the level and influence of the platform.
