This year's government work report proposed to "actively build new growth engines such as bio-manufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy." In the view of the representatives, low-altitude economy is a global competition for the direction of emerging industries, but also an important area to cultivate and develop new quality productivity. Policy, market and other favorable factors are helping China's low-altitude economy and technology continue to break through, and application scenarios continue to expand.

"' Low-altitude economy 'was written into the government work report for the first time, as a technician who has worked in the front line of aero engine research and development for more than 30 years, I feel very excited!" National People's Congress, China AVIC Hunan Power Machinery Research Institute full-time chief division Shan Xiaoming said.

Shan Xiaoming is engaged in the research and development of small and medium-sized aero engine products. These products can be applied to various general aviation aircraft such as helicopters, multi-purpose turboprop aircraft, business jets and drones. "The development of low-altitude economy, technology is the support, the market is fundamental, we will accelerate the pace of independent research and development, enhance product market competitiveness, help low-altitude economy from ready to take off." "She said.

"Taking advantage of the country to promote the development of low-altitude economy, Wuhu City has become the first general aviation industry comprehensive demonstration zone in the country, and has gathered nearly 200 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain." Ningbo, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Wuhu, Anhui Province, introduced at the open group meeting that Wuhu City is promoting the construction of low-altitude intelligent link project, facing eight frontier areas such as the construction of low-altitude intelligent link operation control platform, and providing high-level and professional information services for low-altitude flight activities in Anhui province and even the Yangtze River Delta region.

As a strategic emerging industry, the low-altitude economy has a long industrial chain, which is an important direction for cultivating and developing new drivers. From drones walking through high-rise buildings to deliver food, to take a sightseeing helicopter to enjoy the scenery, and then to use drones to inspect the power grid, the current low-altitude economy and technology continue to break through, and application scenarios continue to expand.

Data from the Civil Aviation Administration of China show that China's low-altitude economy will exceed 500 billion yuan in 2023 and is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan in 2030.

In the view of Chen Qianwen, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, with the increasingly mature UAV technology and the gradual opening up of low-altitude airspace control, China's huge low-altitude economic industry chain has taken shape, and low-altitude economy is expected to become a new economic growth point.

However, the representatives also said that at present, China's low-altitude economy is still in its infancy, and further efforts are still needed to improve the policy and regulatory system and strengthen supporting measures.

Gao Wen, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of Pengcheng Laboratory, believes that the concept definition, industry norms and technical standards in the field of low-altitude economy need to be improved and a consensus formed. In this regard, he suggested that we strengthen the top-level design of the low-altitude economy, formulate low-altitude airspace management laws and regulations, accelerate the introduction of relevant policy guidelines and industry norms, and clarify the definition of low-altitude airspace, the space-time benchmark of aircraft, and the unique identification of airspace, so that more people can understand how low and how high the low-altitude is.

"Airspace is a key link in the development of low-altitude economy." Representative Shan Xiaoming suggested that a leading system of low-altitude economic development organizations should be established at the national level, dynamic management and fine use of airspace should be implemented, and some altitudes and periods should be adjusted to ensure the flight of general aviation aircraft and promote the development of the general aviation industry.

It is also crucial to accelerate the expansion of application scenarios and promote high-quality industrial development. "The innovative application of new generation information technologies such as 5G, big data and the Internet of Things in the low-altitude economy can provide the technical basis for the large-scale application of low-altitude drones and accelerate the development of new business formats such as drone logistics, air Tours and aviation sports." Cheng Wei, deputy to the National People's Congress and general manager of China Mobile Communications Group Hunan Co., LTD., believes that it is necessary to make full use of the new generation of information technology, consolidate the base of low-altitude economic development capacity, improve the low-altitude infrastructure of air networking, and cultivate and expand the emerging business forms related to the low-altitude economy.

Wang Guilin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Guangzhou Science and Technology Bureau, believes that at present, all kinds of business entities actively enter the bureau to explore innovative breakthroughs in various scenarios of low-altitude economy, and application scenarios bloom more. In the next step, it is necessary to ensure the accurate implementation of policies such as finance, land, industry, innovation, and talent, support the high-quality development of low-altitude economic industries, promote the operation and development of double chains, drive manufacturing with operation services, and promote industrial development with manufacturing.

Ningbo representatives said that in the process of industrial promotion, engines, avionics and other projects have long research and development cycles, large costs and other characteristics, and it is difficult to cultivate leading enterprises. He suggested that a number of low-altitude economic development pilot areas should be created to promote central enterprises, leading enterprises, and large airlines to establish production and manufacturing bases in places with better conditions, and form agglomeration effects through leading drives to promote the development of new quality productivity.
