The integration of China's helicopter industry and energy storage industry is driven by the dual engines of 'green aviation' and 'low altitude economy', driving profound changes in the industry. The core of integration is the electrification and intelligence of the power system. On the one hand, the pure electric eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) has become a pioneer, and its commercial landing height relies on high energy density and high safety aviation grade power batteries. At present, the energy density of semi-solid state batteries developed by companies such as CATL and Zhongchuang Aviation has exceeded 380Wh/kg, providing critical range assurance for eVTOL. On the other hand, for scenarios with higher load and range requirements, hybrid technology has become mainstream, adopting an extended range architecture of 'aviation piston engine+generator+battery', with a penetration rate of over 60% in heavy-duty models above 1 ton, achieving significant improvements in commercial load and range. This integration is not only reflected in the product side, but also extends to infrastructure and operational models. The integrated solar energy storage, charging, and swapping station uses a supporting energy storage system to stabilize the power grid load, reduce operating costs, and pave the way for large-scale commercial operation. As a result, energy storage technology has moved from the ground to the air, upgrading from auxiliary backup to the 'power heart' of aircraft, while the helicopter industry has achieved a low-carbon and intelligent leap through energy storage, jointly building the cornerstone of the trillion level new productivity of low altitude economy.
