LSA hits China skyscraper

This is NOT about human rights...you're gonna get this locked.

As for the article... well it was more an industry puff piece than GA in China. Oh look, first tier cities have limited drone delivery. much kool, so wow.

I have a friend in Shenzhen and I'll ask her what she knows... admittedly she's in HR for a manufacturing company so it might not be much.

As an aside, my local WalMart has drone delivery for about 5 months now. It a trickle as range is limited as is payload. I think most of it is prescription stuff... but I could be wrong.

I simply don't see China opening up to E-VTOL services for the masses. Most people simply don't make that much money. And the ones that DO have a decent salary still have apartments to pay off and cars and help family etc. I don't see GA opening up. China is simply way to paranoid... well the MILITARY is, about these things. It could be the 'round eyes' sneaking it to abduct Xi HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

One thing I do find kinda funny is that the Chinese Embassy in NYC is right next to the USS Intrepid... kinda like a reminder.. we have SO MANY carriers that we them for museums outside your Embassy, Mr. Xi. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

China has restricted flights of private light fixed-wing aircraft after a plane crashed into Beijing’s tallest building last week, according to operators around the country.

Three operators of small propeller-driven aircraft and one glider company told the FT that they had been grounded after the incident late on Friday, in which a small plane struck Citic Tower, killing the pilot and injuring 13 others.An employee at Weland Skydive club in Danzhou in Hainan, China’s southernmost province, said it had suspended skydiving and paragliding services because of a “nationwide airspace control” order covering recreational flights.“Any activities that require flying are banned,” said the employee, who declined to be named, adding that there was no clear timeline for the restrictions to be lifted.

The airspace restrictions, which have not been publicly announced, came after a small plane with the registration number B-12PP took off from a flight school on the eastern outskirts of Beijing and hit the 528-metre headquarters of one of China’s biggest state-owned financial groups.The crash occurred at rush hour on Friday in one of Beijing’s busiest business districts, just kilometres from the secretive compound that houses China’s political leadership.It shocked residents of Beijing, who are accustomed to exhaustive security precautions to protect top officials. China also maintains some of the world’s strictest aviation controls, particularly in the capital.

Goes without saying, but let's never become anything like China :)

We don't lock down the skies for an ultralight doing that, do we? Bit of a difference btw the two...

One of us seems to have lost our sense of humor. Or perhaps the problem is me trying to inject humor into a serious topic.
