Recently, the Hurun Research Institute, which publishes the world’s largest rankings of unicorns and future unicorns, joined forces with Nantong Innovation Zone to jointly release “2024 Nantong Zilang Lake · Hurun U35 China Entrepreneurial Pioneers” , aimed at identifying China’s entrepreneurial pioneers under the age of 36, Li Ye, founder of Weihang Technology, has also made the list. This year’s selection honored a total of 178 young talents. The list has long been renowned for its independence, authority, and high prestige, representing one of the highest accolades in China’s entrepreneurial landscape and recognizing the recipients’ spirit of innovation, business achievements, and social impact.
The Weihang Technology team has remained dedicated to eVTOL for many years. Electric ducted-fan jet propulsion technology Through innovative R&D and technological accumulation, a comprehensive design framework for electric ducted-fan propulsion systems has been established, boasting extensive technical expertise in high efficiency, lightweight construction, and enhanced safety. Relevant research achievements have been recognized with the highest global award in the aerospace engineering field— SAE 2019 Wright Brothers Medal , its R&D capabilities are internationally leading. Electric ducted-fan jet propulsion technology is a key core technology of the third aviation industry revolution and represents the next-generation propulsion system for flying cars. Compared with the more common rotor-based propulsion systems currently in use, Higher safety, greater thrust, improved efficiency, reduced noise, and a more compact overall footprint. 。
As the founder, Li possesses a deep understanding and keen insight across technology, industry, and market dynamics. He pioneered the application of electric ducted-fan jet propulsion to the critical need of fire‑fighting and rescue operations in urban high‑rise buildings, creating the world’s first cross‑disciplinary technological innovation that bridges two strategic emerging industries: safety‑critical emergency response and the low‑altitude economy— Ducted-fan high-altitude tethered firefighting unmanned system , this product features High flow, high pressure, high efficiency, high safety With these advantages, it is the next-generation main combat platform that can fully address the challenges of fire suppression and rescue in urban high-rise buildings, and can be rapidly scaled up and deployed within the framework of existing technologies, regulations, and industrial systems. Promoting “low-altitude” development as an “economic” driver 。
