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.

二 | 据美国全国广播公司（NBC）当地时间9日报道，加拿大总理特鲁多在接受美媒采访时称，特朗普曾在一次交谈中向他提出“把加拿大并入美国”提议，他就此向前者建议，用美国佛蒙特州或加利福尼亚州进行交换。NBC称，特鲁多在接受美国媒体MSNBC一档节目采访时，谈及自己去年11月在海湖庄园与特朗普会晤。报道说，对于特朗普对“把加拿大并入美国”表现出兴趣，特鲁多在采访中称，“当我开始建议说，‘好吧，也许可以用佛蒙特州或加利福尼亚州交换某些地区’，他立马觉得这个话题不再那么有趣。然后我们就转到另一个话题了”。NBC称，特鲁多当时是“开玩笑”提出了这一建议。特鲁多（左）接受MSNBC采访时的画面 图源：MSNBC视频截图NBC称，对于上述消息，特朗普的发言人没有立即回应置评请求。报道说，特鲁多还在采访中称，如果特朗普继续推进关税计划，加拿大准备作出“强有力回应”。
三 | 此前，特朗普威胁要对加拿大商品征收25%的关税。据NBC等媒体报道，特朗普近期多次发表“加拿大应该成为美国第51州”有关言论，引发加拿大方面不满。特朗普本月7日在佛罗里达州海湖庄园举行的新闻发布会上称，他对使用“经济力量”收购加拿大持开放态度。对此，特鲁多在社交媒体上称，“加拿大不可能成为美国一部分”。
