Combine independent innovation with open innovation, combine individual innovation with integrated innovation, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productivity.

"Take an air taxi" and "take a flying bus", these sci-fi scenes in movies are gradually becoming reality. Some time ago, an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft flew over landmarks such as the Guangdong Provincial Museum and Huacheng Square and successfully completed its test flight. The low-altitude traffic management service platform in Chengdu, Sichuan successfully completed the verification flight of low-altitude manned travel in the city. The continuous new news about "low-altitude manned travel" shows the infinite possibilities of low-altitude urban transportation and the broad prospects for the development of the low-altitude economy.

The low-altitude economy is a comprehensive economic form that relies on low-altitude airspace and uses aircraft as the main carrier, covering various low-altitude flight activities such as manned and cargo. The low-altitude economy has high technological content, a long industrial chain, strong growth and driving force, and is a typical representative of new quality productivity and an important direction for cultivating new development momentum. According to statistics, the scale of my country's low-altitude economy will reach 505.95 billion yuan in 2023, with a growth rate of 33.8%; nearly 608,000 new drones were registered in the first half of this year, and the total number of drone companies holding current valid civil unmanned aircraft operating certificates exceeded 14,000. The valuable experience of the vigorous development of the low-altitude economy can provide inspiration for cultivating and expanding strategic emerging industries and accelerating the development of new quality productivity.

The innovation of low-altitude aircraft cannot be separated from the protection of new energy technology, unmanned driving technology, and new generation information technology. The Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a high-energy hydrogen hybrid power source to provide better kinetic energy for drones; a Zhejiang company has developed a 9-seat hybrid aircraft that can reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions by 70%; many companies have launched drone chips that can improve flight reliability and adaptability to complex environments... Scientific and technological innovation is an important support for the low-altitude economy to "take off". Leading industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation requires the concerted efforts of universities, research institutes, and leading enterprises to combine independent innovation with open innovation, and combine single innovation with integrated innovation, so as to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productivity.

To promote the expansion of the low-altitude economy, we must rely on technology to strengthen the foundation and rely on the industry to strengthen the chain. In the spring when the flowers are in full bloom, Wuxi Dingshu Airport in Jiangsu Province launched a special line for cherry blossom viewing in the air, and tourists can enjoy a unique viewing experience by taking a helicopter; during the busy farming season, almost no one went to a farm in Huangpu, Guangzhou, and sowing and management relied on drones... From agricultural production, logistics and transportation to tourism and medical rescue, the scope of "low-altitude +" is continuously expanded, and the focus on application scenarios to build an industrial ecological chain will help push the development of the low-altitude economy into the fast lane. Targeting the diverse and personalized needs of the masses and exploring more application scenarios is an important link in the implementation of scientific and technological innovation results, and it is also a realistic choice for developing new formats and shaping new momentum.

The industrial application of low-altitude economy requires clear order and boundaries. Suzhou, Jiangsu issued low-altitude air traffic rules (trial implementation), Shenzhen, Guangdong implemented regulations to promote low-altitude economic industries, Hainan released unmanned aerial vehicle suitable airspace map... Many places have issued policies to support and encourage the development of low-altitude economy and provide legal protection for the development of low-altitude economy. The development of low-altitude economy is inseparable from the "dual-wheel drive" of market and policy. In this sense, supporting the development of strategic emerging industries requires better play of the role of the government, deepening reforms, optimizing governance, and giving play to the functions of industrial policies to stimulate innovation and promote competition, as well as building access conditions, regulatory rules and standards systems that are conducive to the development of new technologies, new products, new formats and new models.

The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee proposed to "strengthen the supply of systems in new fields and new tracks" and "guide the healthy and orderly development of emerging industries". The distance is not far away, and the future has come. By adapting measures to local conditions, giving play to comparative advantages, creating unique "playing methods", and building a number of strategic emerging industry growth engines with their own characteristics, complementary advantages, and reasonable structures, China's economic development space will be broader and more vibrant.
