HRC Showcases Lightweight, High-Performance Carbon Fiber Innovations at AERO ASIA 2025, Accelerating a New Era of Low-Altitude Mobility

November 27–30, 2025, Zhuhai — AERO ASIA 2025 opened at the Zhuhai International Airshow Center, hosting nearly 400 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions and more than 170 aircraft in static and flight displays. Under the theme “A New Era of General Aviation: Exploring the Potential of Low-Altitude Mobility,” the event showcased the latest technologies and innovations shaping general aviation and the low-altitude economy.

HRC presented a range of lightweight and high-performance products for low-altitude aviation, including inboard wing parts, strut reinforcements, UAV arms, and a carbon-fiber vertical tail panel. These exhibits demonstrated HRC’s integration of advanced material processes with next-generation mobility concepts and drew strong interest from industry professionals.

HRC showcased a carbon-fiber vertical tail panel developed exclusively for a large short-takeoff-and-landing unmanned transport aircraft. Designed to meet strict performance, manufacturing, and quality requirements, the panel uses a reinforced skin-and-T-stringer architecture. Both the skin and T-stringers are made from carbon-fiber unidirectional prepreg and formed using autoclave processing. The T-stringers are bonded to the skin in a secondary bonding step and locally reinforced with hybrid joining techniques. This approach met demanding structural criteria while delivering significant weight savings and cost efficiency.

The company also displayed a composite UAV arm built with an inner-skin, PMI foam core, and outer-skin sandwich structure. During production, the inner and outer skins are cured separately and then secondarily bonded to the PMI foam to form an integrated, closed-cell structure. This configuration substantially reduces weight and increases overall stiffness and structural efficiency.

Looking ahead, HRC will continue to advance low-altitude mobility by applying advanced material technologies to make aircraft lighter, safer, and more efficient. The company will work with partners across the value chain to support steady, sustainable progress in the general aviation sector.
