China's independently-developed and fully electric-powered AS700D civil manned airship has completed its first scientific flight test in central China's Hubei. The lithium battery-powered airship has a designed max speed of 80km/h and can reach an altitude of up to 3,100 meters, with a capacity to carry up to 10 people. After the AS700D enters the market, it can be widely used in various scenarios such as low-altitude tourism, aerial advertising, urban security, aviation exploration and emergency rescue.
