Chinese drones prove mettle in Tianjin disaster
Chinese drone developers are racking up an impressive list of aerial solutions for a growing variety of demands, from police surveillance to agricultural mapping and traffic management. Already well established as a world leader in drone manufacturing, China is slowly emerging as a world-class innovator, not just a duplicator of foreign designs.
“People have been calling China ‘copy cats’ for a long time. That’s still true in a lot of industries, but when it comes to drones China is no copycat,” said Joe Tymczyszyn, a senior adviser and former executive director for the U.S.-China Aviation Cooperation Program.
