Recently, 18 low-altitude pilot routes in Wuhan City, Hubei Province were approved. Wuhan City proposed that by 2030, the city's low-altitude economic industry will exceed 100 billion yuan and enter the phalanx of comprehensive domestic low-altitude economic strength. Policies are catalyzed and capital is sought after. In addition to Wuhan, various regions are also making hot plans to compete for this new track.
Low-altitude economy is a comprehensive economic form produced by the integrated development of civilian manned and unmanned aircraft in various low-altitude airspace within 3,000 meters, radiating and driving the integrated development of related fields. Data released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China shows that by 2025, the size of the low-altitude economic market will reach 1.5 trillion yuan and is expected to reach 3.5 trillion yuan by 2035.
Low-altitude economy is regarded as a typical representative of new quality productivity. my country has the advantages of market demand and industrial basic advantages in developing a low-altitude economy. But at the same time, it should be noted that my country's low-altitude economy is still in its infancy, and industrial risks must be identified and prevented in advance. Beware of rushing and bubbles, and do not engage in single models and homogeneous competition.
Top-level design is the key to developing a low-altitude economy. Airspace is a strategic resource, and strategic management should be strengthened, scientifically planned, rationally arranged, and orderly development should be developed. Areas that are at the forefront can further broaden the "air market" and strive to play a greater role in the development of scientific and technological innovation and modern industries; areas with relatively slow development should further deepen their understanding of low-altitude economy, combine local resource endowments to compete in dislocation, and find the most suitable development direction.
To develop a low-altitude economy, facility construction is the foundation. We need to focus on improving the ground facilities networks such as general airports, take-off and landing points, and repair stations, improve low-altitude intelligent information networks such as communications, navigation, meteorology, and monitoring, actively strive for airspace resources, expand low-altitude flight route networks, create a low-altitude flight service network covering the entire region, and strive to build an air road network for low-altitude economic development.
To develop a low-altitude economy, R&D and manufacturing are the core. We need to focus on improving the entire industrial chain such as complete machine manufacturing, key system research and development, key component production, and new material supply, strengthen technological innovation and project attraction, cultivate leading enterprises, build industrial clusters, and make the low-altitude economic industries bigger, stronger and better.
To develop a low-altitude economy, expanding applications is the key point. It is necessary to accelerate the development of "low-altitude +" multi-industry application scenarios such as emergency rescue, transportation and logistics, agricultural production, and cultural tourism, and continue to promote the low-altitude economy to enter thousands of households and empower thousands of industries.
At the same time, accelerate the construction of air traffic management standards and lay the foundation for future industrial development. my country is currently facing the contradiction between low-altitude opening and air security. Low-altitude opening should further form institutional coordination, innovate operating mechanisms, and build a standardized and efficient air traffic operation guarantee system on the basis of ensuring flight safety and information security.
Low-altitude economy is a new track. We cannot "speculate concepts" and "follow the trend", and we cannot be eager for quick success or short-term profits. Only by coordinating the layout, based on existing advantages, stimulating market vitality, providing policy guarantees, and strengthening technical support can the low-altitude economy fly longer and farther.
