The drone has completed multiple test flights, China Central Television (CCTV) News reported.
Long Bamboo, a company based in East China's Fujian Province, developed the technique that preserves the bamboo's tough outer layer and allows different parts with different densities of the material to be used according to their properties, improving its overall performance.
In the past, the outer skin of bamboo was often treated as leftover material and eventually burned into low-value bamboo charcoal.
According to a company release in February, bamboo-based composites now make up more than 25 percent of the entire drone, while its fuselage skin is made entirely from the company's own high-performance bamboo composite material.
The bamboo-based material also offers a major cost advantage, costing only about one-quarter to one-tenth as much as aviation-grade carbon fiber. After the drone is retired, the material can naturally degrade, allowing it to effectively "come from nature and return to nature."
The team spent four years building data models, upgrading equipment and refining the material. The resulting drone has a wingspan of more than 2.5 meters but weighs only about 7 kilograms, and has already completed multiple test flights, according to CCTV News.
Bamboo was traditionally used mainly in products such as tableware and furniture. Now, however, the material is finding its way into a wider range of industrial applications. Bamboo fiber is being used in automobile interiors, while bamboo-based materials are also being explored as possible substitutes for plastics, glass fiber and carbon fiber in some applications. 
China has the world's largest bamboo resource base, with about 7.56 million hectares of bamboo forests nationwide. The country also ranks among the world leaders in bamboo resources, bamboo cultivation technologies and the development and utilization of bamboo materials, per CCTV News.

。         Latest newsA court in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei Province, has sentenced a man surnamed Xia and his son to six years and five and a half years in prison, respectively, for selling controlled stimulant substances. The verdict followed a two-year police investigation, which was initiated after China's Ministry of Public Security received a tip-off from the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Chinese Central Television (CCTV) reported on Tuesday.
The case dates back to June 2023, when the US DEA, operating under the Department of Justice, notified China's MPS of an arrest involving a Chinese national charged with trafficking sensitive chemicals. The MPS subsequently directed public security authorities in Hubei to launch an investigation.
Further investigations found Xia and his son had sold and shipped large quantities of non-scheduled precursor chemicals overseas.
Beginning in May 2021, the two suspects registered several shell trading companies and hired employees to fabricate information about the companies' production, business and transportation capabilities on domestic and overseas websites. 
They posted large numbers of advertisements for non-scheduled chemicals, sourced the products domestically after receiving orders from overseas buyers, and shipped them abroad through international freight forwarding companies, according to the CCTV report.
During a two-year investigation, police found that some of the chemicals sold by the duo included stimulant substances controlled under Chinese regulations.
The court found that Xia and his son organized others to illegally sell controlled stimulant substances in 123 transactions between November 2021 and July 2024, with total sales exceeding 1.69 million yuan ($235,000).
On August 14, 2026, the court convicted both defendants of illegal business operations, sentencing Xia to six years in prison and his son to five years and six months. Both were also fined.
Police reminded companies and individuals engaged in chemical trading and export businesses to strengthen their legal awareness, strictly comply with relevant Chinese and foreign laws and regulations, and follow warning notices issued by China's national anti-drug authorities in August 2019, November 2023, November 2025 and May 2026 to guard against legal risks.
