Accelerating the takeoff of low altitude economy
2024-07-29
At present, China's low altitude economy has begun to take shape, and emerging industries such as drone logistics, low altitude tourism, and urban air transportation are flourishing, demonstrating strong development potential and broad market prospects. The vigorous development of the low altitude economy marks China's accelerated entry into a new era of "land, sea, air, and space" four-dimensional transportation, drawing a broader blueprint for China's transportation map. The overall number of registered low altitude economy related enterprises in China is showing an increasing trend. According to data from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, about 608000 new unmanned aerial vehicles were registered in the first half of this year, an increase of 48% compared to the end of last year; Drones have flown a total of 9.816 million hours, an increase of 134000 hours compared to the same period last year. Guangdong, Zhejiang and other provinces have taken the lead in carrying out the construction of low altitude economic demonstration zones, forming distinctive low altitude economic development models through policy guidance, infrastructure construction, enterprise cultivation and industrial planning. To safeguard the development of low altitude economy, China has successively introduced multiple policies to encourage the development of low altitude economy. The 2023 Central Economic Work Conference will list low altitude economy as one of the strategic emerging industries. On January 1, 2024, the Provisional Regulations on the Flight Management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles came into effect, providing strong support for the safe and convenient flight of unmanned aerial vehicles. The Implementation Plan for Innovative Applications of General Aviation Equipment (2024-2030), released at the end of March 2024, proposes that by 2030, general aviation equipment will be fully integrated into various fields of people's production and life, becoming a powerful driving force for low altitude economic growth and forming a trillion dollar market scale. The low altitude economy has shown great development potential in various fields such as logistics, emergency rescue, medical care, agriculture, and inspection. However, it is still in its infancy and there are still problems such as incomplete top-level design, weak industrial foundation, and immature market. In this regard, comprehensive measures should be taken from the three levels of policy, technology, and industry to promote its high-quality development. Optimize the policy environment and provide solid legal protection. The government should clarify the strategic positioning of the low altitude economy, establish a scientific, systematic, and forward-looking policy and regulatory system, incorporate it into the national development plan, formulate medium - and long-term development goals and roadmaps, and provide clear direction guidance for industrial development. At the same time, improving the legal and regulatory system is key. We should accelerate the revision and improvement of laws and regulations related to low altitude flight, drone applications, airspace management, etc., clarify the boundaries of rights and responsibilities, regulate market order, establish a flexible and efficient airspace management development mechanism with more complete laws and regulations, reasonably divide and dynamically manage low altitude airspace, improve the efficiency of airspace resource utilization, enhance airspace standardization and safety. Exploring the establishment of intelligent and precise models while ensuring safety. Strengthen technological innovation and enhance independent innovation capabilities. As an emerging industry that integrates general aviation, drone technology, smart cities, and other fields, the thriving development of low altitude economy relies on solid technological support and continuous innovation drive. We need to increase investment in the research and development of key core technologies, such as breakthroughs in unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous navigation, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and long endurance. At the same time, we should attach great importance to the key role of technological innovation in the development of enterprises, cultivate a group of low altitude economic leading enterprises with international competitiveness, and give full play to their leading role in technological innovation and market development. Further promote collaborative cooperation among enterprises in the low altitude economy field, accelerate collaborative innovation in the upstream and downstream of the low altitude economy industry chain, build an open and cooperative innovation ecosystem, and inject strong impetus into the vigorous development of the transportation industry and economic transformation and upgrading with the high-quality development of the low altitude economy. Expand industrial fields and create diverse application scenarios. On the basis of maintaining the advantages of traditional low altitude flight services, we should actively explore new application areas such as low altitude logistics, low altitude tourism, emergency rescue, urban management, etc. Through technological and model innovation, we will promote the development of the low altitude economy towards higher levels and wider fields, forming a diversified industrial development pattern. At the same time, it is crucial to carefully create multidimensional and multi domain application scenarios for low altitude economy. Tailored low altitude service solutions to meet the actual needs of different industries and fields, achieving precise docking and efficient service of low altitude economy. By continuously expanding industrial fields and creating diverse application scenarios, we aim to promote the comprehensive development of the low altitude economy. (New Society)
