【Knowledge Points】
The low-altitude economy is a comprehensive economic form that is driven by various low-altitude flight activities of various manned and unmanned aircraft, radiating and driving the integrated development of related fields. Its related products mainly include drones, eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft), helicopters, traditional fixed-wing aircraft, etc., involving two major scenarios: residential consumption and industrial applications.
In February 2021, the low-altitude economy was written into the Outline of the National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Plan. The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2023 proposed to "create several strategic emerging industries such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy." At the 2024 National People's Congress, "actively creating new growth engines such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy" was written into the government work report.
