Students take flight at drone training center(3)

Ouyang Boyi, a student at Huangpu Flight Academy from Pingxiang, Jiangxi province, said he is optimistic about the low-altitude industry's prospects. "After graduation, I want to set up a company to provide cleaning services for high-rise buildings in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, and I will use drones to solve transportation problems for mountaineering companies," he said.

Li Wei, another student from Hunan province, said drones can be used in many fields such as medical delivery and short distance transportation, and play a role in saving manpower.

Li said that the school provides a good learning atmosphere where students with similar interests can study together and share the fun of learning and operating drones.

Since the school began enrolling students in July, it has already registered more than 100 students. However, the school needs to expand to meet growing market demand, and Wen said he hopes to enroll more than 2,000 students this year.

One student at the school, who is also a mother of two children, said she looks forward to becoming a professional drone operator when her kids have grown up.

"Drones are a good starting point," she said, adding that she chose drones and the low-altitude economy because they are closely related to current trends.
