CCTV Beijing, April 18 (Reporter Wang Jing) The low-altitude economy is currently hot and has received widespread attention. In the past year, with the release of the policy, the concept of low-altitude economy has been continuously clarified.
Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the Civil Aviation Administration, also issued the "Implementation Plan for the Innovative Application of General Aviation Equipment (2024-2030)", which clearly stated that by 2030, the mainland's general aviation equipment will be fully integrated into all fields of people's production and life, forming a trillion-scale general aviation industry market.
"We believe that the low-altitude economy is an important direction for the future development of emerging industries, and will definitely form a trillion-level industrial scale in the future, which will be able to better benefit the people and better meet the people's yearning for a better life. On April 18, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the development of industry and information technology in the first quarter of 2024, Shan Zhongde, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the press conference.
Shandong Rizhao: low-altitude economy spreads its wings and "flies high"
Promote the large-scale development of "low-altitude + logistics and distribution" and "low-altitude + urban air mobility".
This year's government work report proposes to vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerate the development of new quality productive forces. It mentions actively building new growth engines such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy. This is also the first time that the low-altitude economy has been written into the government work report.
For example, Shan Zhongde said that provinces and cities such as Jiangsu, Shandong, and Shenzhen have introduced relevant low-altitude economic development policies. The low-altitude economy is a typical emerging industry, a typical representative of new quality productivity, and an important direction for cultivating and developing new kinetic energy, with the characteristics of innovation-led, green and low-carbon, and digital-real integration.
In fact, the reporter noticed that in recent years, the low-altitude economic industry has been frequent, and the results have appeared.
For example, in the first quarter, the rapid development of new areas of low-altitude economy, represented by unmanned manned aircraft, is moving from "flying" to "using". Many domestic enterprises are increasing investment to carry out the research and development of unmanned manned aircraft, involving the structural design and material selection of aircraft. In addition to low-altitude manned sightseeing in scenic spots, application scenarios such as "air taxis", logistics and distribution, and urban governance are also accelerating their expansion.
At the same time, the construction of infrastructure related to the low-altitude economy is also accelerating. "Accelerate the realization of unmanned, electrified, intelligent technical characteristics of the new general aviation equipment commercial application, to promote the 'low altitude + logistics distribution', 'low altitude + urban air mobility', 'low altitude + emergency rescue' and other large-scale development. Shan Zhongde said.
Shan Zhongde said that the development of low-altitude economy is inseparable from advanced aircraft, the development of low-altitude economy needs the support of informatization, networking, communications, general aviation manufacturing industry provides a good equipment support for the development of low-altitude economy, and the information and communication network provides a good foundation for the development of low-altitude economy.
In recent years, the general aviation equipment manufacturing industry represented by UAVs has achieved rapid development. According to incomplete statistics, by the end of 2023, there will be more than 2,300 civilian UAV development enterprises in the mainland, and more than 1,000 UAV products will be mass-produced. In 2023, the mainland will deliver more than 3.17 million civilian drones, and the output value of the general aviation manufacturing industry will exceed 51 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of nearly 60%.

The low-altitude economy involves sports and leisure, cultural tourism and other fields
In the next step, in order to develop the low-altitude economy, especially to coordinate high-quality development and high-level safety, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that it will further strengthen departmental coordination and central and local linkage, and accelerate the creation of a new engine for low-altitude economic growth.
At the press conference of the State Council Information Office yesterday (17th), the National Development and Reform Commission also made a statement, Jin Xiandong, director of the Policy Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the low-altitude economy involves logistics and transportation, urban transportation, agriculture and forestry plant protection, emergency rescue, sports and leisure, cultural tourism and other fields, but also involves high-end manufacturing, artificial intelligence and other industries. It is a strategic emerging industry with broad prospects, and it is also a typical representative of new quality productivity, and it is of great significance and bright prospects to actively and steadily promote the development of low-altitude economy.
Jin Xiandong said: At present, the mainland has a good foundation for developing a low-altitude economy. In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will coordinate and cooperate with relevant departments, adhere to the principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, better coordinate high-quality development and high-level safety, and promote the formation of a good situation of healthy development of the low-altitude economy with rich and diverse scenarios, intelligent and efficient supply, and standardized supervision and safety, with market demand as the traction, technological innovation as the drive, and airspace opening as the guarantee.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also said that by 2030, the mainland will achieve large-scale applications in the fields of aviation emergency rescue, logistics and distribution, urban air mobility will achieve commercial operation, and a new model of general aviation industry development characterized by high-end, intelligent and green will be basically established in the mainland.
