Xinjian Economic and Technological Development Zone has achieved a landmark breakthrough in the low-altitude economy industry. DY50A agricultural plant protection UAV, independently developed and manufactured by Dayun (Jiangxi) Aviation Industry Co., Ltd., a leading local enterprise, has successfully completed integral assembly and field spraying test flight. As the first locally manufactured UAV complete machine product in Xinjian District, this maiden flight marks the official completion of the full industrial chain covering "R&D-Production-Test Flight" for the regional low-altitude economy, solidifying a critical step in industrial upgrading and localized intelligent manufacturing.
Tailor-made for agricultural enterprises in Kenya, the DY50A plant protection drone delivers outstanding comprehensive operational performance and strong adaptability to large-scale African agricultural scenarios. Equipped with an independent intelligent flight control system, the UAV features a maximum flight radius of 2km, an effective spraying width of 6 to 10 meters, and a full-load endurance of 7 minutes. It can cover 13 mu of farmland in a single operation, complete 70 mu of plant protection work per hour, and achieve a stable daily operating capacity of 500 to 800 mu.
Widely applicable to diverse crop scenarios, the DY50A UAV is suitable for staple crops including rice, wheat and corn, as well as cash crops such as tea, citrus and cotton. It supports integrated pesticide spraying and fertilizer application on complex terrains including plains, mountains, hills and terraces. With precise and efficient agricultural operation capabilities, it perfectly meets the standardized and large-scale production needs of Kenyan and other African agricultural markets, boasting broad overseas market application prospects.
As an award-winning project of the low-altitude economy track in the 1st Jiangxi High-Level Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, Dayun Aviation has realized efficient industrial transformation with the model of "winning, signing and landing in the same year". The enterprise gathers professional technical talents in the low-altitude field and builds an industry-university-research collaborative innovation platform with well-known domestic aviation universities to continuously deepen UAV R&D and manufacturing.
In the future, Dayun Aviation will continue to iterate and launch a series of UAV products adapted to agricultural and government market demands at home and abroad, enriching multi-scenario low-altitude application solutions. Xinjian Economic and Technological Development Zone will further optimize policy support, factor guarantee and industrial supporting services, introduce and cultivate high-quality low-altitude economy market entities, improve the full industrial chain layout of aviation equipment R&D, manufacturing and application, and strive to build the low-altitude economy into a new growth pole for regional industrial transformation and opening-up development.
