Geely Technology General Aviation Manufacturing Basement is located in Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone, with a total area of about 267,000 square meters. It integrates the sections of research and development, production, assembly, testing and delivery of urban manned and unmanned aerial vehicles as well as other aviation products. It is the manufacturing base and product delivery center of Geely Technology's aviation business. The base has China's first  automated production line producing composite materials for general aviation aircraft, which can save more than 60% of labor costs compared to traditional hand-built aerospace manufacturing production lines, producing more than 1,000 composite industrial-grade UAVs per year with their wingspans exceeding 4 meters.

China's general aviation industry has entered a period of rapid development. As the center of China's domestic general aviation industry, Wuhan has a leading  industrial cluster in the country, with obvious advantages and huge potential. In the future, Geely Technology's aviation business will continue to leverage its industrial advantages, cultivate Wuhan, and promote the high-quality development of China's general aviation industry through joint efforts.
