Recently, the senior management and core R&D team of XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTD successfully concluded their in-depth inspection of the 2025 Asian General Aviation Exhibition (AGAE 2025). The purpose of this visit was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest global general aviation (GA) market technology trends, industry development trajectories, and potential collaboration opportunities, providing forward-looking market intelligence for the company’s strategic planning for 2026 and beyond.
Focusing on Three Key Trends: Guiding the Direction for Future Avionics Technology
As a leading domestic aviation electronics equipment manufacturer, XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTDs’ inspection team meticulously studied key areas at the exhibition and confirmed three core trends driving the future development of general aviation:
-
The Rise of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and eVTOL: Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft and their corresponding avionics systems were a major focus of this year's exhibition. XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTD team paid close attention to the eVTOL requirement for lightweight, highly integrated, and high-reliability autonomous flight control and navigation systems, recognizing this as the largest area of growth in the future avionics market.
-
Widespread Adoption of Fully Digital Cockpits: The new generation of general aircraft significantly demands enhanced Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) experience. Multi-functional, touch-operated, and Augmented Reality (AR)-capable digital cockpit systems have become the mainstream configuration. The team will draw upon advanced international design philosophies to further optimize XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTDs’ next-generation integrated display systems.
-
Sustainable Aviation Technology: Driven by global net-zero emission targets, electric propulsion systems and avionics capable of supporting efficient energy management garnered extensive attention. XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTD will increase R&D investment in power management and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) status monitoring systems to support the development of green general aviation.
In-Depth Exchange Promotes Cooperation, Pinpointing Industry Gaps
During the multi-day exhibition, the XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTD team held high-level meetings with dozens of renowned GA manufacturers, system integrators, and core component suppliers from Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region.
XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTDs’ Chief Technology Officer, stated: “This inspection was an invaluable opportunity for learning and exchange. We not only validated the foresight of our company's existing product roadmap but also clearly identified our gaps and opportunities in certain critical technological areas. Moving forward, we plan to introduce more advanced international concepts and accelerate our strategic deployment in high-reliability sensor fusion and airborne Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted decision systems through joint development and technology acquisition.”
The team was particularly focused on the latest achievements in miniaturized and modular sensors, and established preliminary contact with several innovative startups to explore supply chain diversification and technical cooperation possibilities.
Strategic Outlook: Driving Innovation Based on Market Intelligence
General Manager of XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTD, remarked while summarizing the visit: “The General Aviation Exhibition is not merely a product showcase but a collision of global GA industry strategies. Through this in-depth survey, we are even more convinced of our ‘market-driven innovation’ strategy. XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTD will rapidly translate the cutting-edge trends observed at the exhibition into concrete R&D projects and product upgrade goals, ensuring our avionics products remain at the forefront of general aviation market demand.”
Based on the outcomes of this inspection, XIXIAN FORWARD TECHNOLOGY LTD will fully deploy a new round of product R&D and market expansion plans during upcoming internal strategic meetings, striving to launch more internationally competitive general aviation avionics solutions in 2026.
