This keyword not only appeared in the reports of governments at all levels, but also appeared in the public's view. UAV logistics, UAV food delivery, manned UAVs... various science fiction projects are also rapidly landing</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">Market demand is traction, and the policy "green light" is to help fly</em></p><p>It is generally believed in the industry that low altitude economy is a comprehensive economic business that is in the airspace of 1000 meters or less (depending on the local actual situation), mainly based on general aviation aircraft and UAVs, and drives the integrated development of related fields. Yang Jiong, an engineer of Beihang Unmanned Systems Research Institute, believes that low altitude economy mainly involves three types of groups. The first type is the group that uses UAVs for transportation, agriculture, industrial application and other businesses, the second type is general aviation and manned UAVs for short distance personnel transportation, and the third type is ordinary players of entertainment flight</ p> <p>The rapid development of low altitude economy is inseparable from market demand. Nowadays, these low altitude aircrafts are increasingly needed in many fields, such as agriculture and forestry, construction, security, fire rescue and so on. In particular, the use of flexible and cost-effective UAVs has become an important productivity tool. Shan Zhongde, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the press conference of the National Information Office on April 18 that in 2023, China will deliver more than 3.17 million civil UAVs. Professor He Xiongkui, Dean of the Agricultural UAV System Research Institute of China Agricultural University, said that the installed capacity of China's agricultural UAVs had exceeded 200000 as early as 2022. These agricultural UAVs are undoubtedly new productivity. Their use has gradually expanded from plant protection and pesticide application to fertilizer removal, sowing, transportation, grazing, forest prevention and other fields, solving many practical problems in agricultural production. The Research Report on China's Low Altitude Economic Development (2024) recently released by the China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that China's low altitude economic scale will reach 505.95 billion yuan in 2023, with a growth rate of 33.8%. It is optimistic that by 2026, the scale of low altitude economy is expected to exceed trillion yuan</ p><p><i class="pic-con"><img data-alt="" src="//img.huanqiucdn.cn/dp/api/files/imageDir/c9e63ef96bba98f3d181c1ad845795fau5.jpg?

In recent years, policies and plans that benefit the low altitude economy have emerged frequently. For example, in February 2021, low altitude economy was written into the Outline of the National Comprehensive Three dimensional Transportation Network Planning; In December 2023, the Central Economic Work Conference will raise the low altitude economy to the height of strategic emerging industries; In March this year, the "low altitude economy" was written into the government work report for the first time. According to the statistics of the overseas edition of People's Daily, this year, there are also 26 provincial local government work reports that have made deployment for the development of low altitude economy. The Civil Aviation Administration also supports local governments to set up 20 pilotless aviation pilot zones, and promotes enterprises to carry out piloted drone logistics distribution in Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places. Many experts believe that the first national special regulation for unmanned aerial vehicles, the Interim Regulations on Flight Management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, which will be implemented on January 1, 2024, plays the most important role, making flight more "legal" and more convenient. Yang Jiong, an engineer of Beihang Unmanned System Research Institute, said that the Regulations let ordinary users of entertainment flight know where to fly, and also set a macro framework for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and manned short distance navigation in industry, logistics, agriculture, etc</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">The application scale is still limited, and it is urgent to update the airspace management mode</em></p><p>. However, many experts believe that China's low altitude economy is only beginning to take shape, and if you want to use it on a larger scale, you need to innovate the airspace management mode and build a new airspace management system. Yang Jiong said that the number of UAVs is huge, and the low altitude economic management airspace targets are lower, and the radio signals are more vulnerable to blocking and interference than civil aviation aircraft. The ADS-B (broadcast automatic correlation monitoring) system of traditional civil aviation aircraft is no longer applicable. Fortunately, many provincial, municipal and even county-level local governments, together with relevant professional partners, have explored and built their own airspace management systems, and have made many achievements. He predicted that the country will also have top-level system construction based on national big data in the future. In addition, many cities have set up some suitable airspace to facilitate flight. He believes that the area of suitable airspace will gradually expand in the future</ p><p><i class="pic-con"><img data-alt="" src="//img.huanqiucdn.cn/dp/api/files/imageDir/d3e28759780e54ca79ac10af6063ad83u5.jpg? ImageView2/2/w/1260 "/></i></p><p>He Xiongkui also suggested that local governments could open low altitude below 50 meters to agricultural UAVs in a larger area, because agricultural plant protection UAVs only fly within 20 meters above farmland, and agricultural transport UAVs can basically fly at ultra-low altitude below 50 meters, which has little impact on civil aviation and military aircraft</ p> <p>During the "2024 International Conference on UAV Application and Prevention and Control and UAV Industry Expo" held not long ago, several staff of anti UAV system enterprises also proposed that in order to ensure low altitude economic and orderly flight, it is also necessary to monitor the "black flying" UAVs, which requires the deployment of more UAV monitoring and countermeasures systems. Deng Zheng, the marketing director of Shanghai Tejin Wireless Technology Co., Ltd., suggested that infrastructure level low altitude monitoring system should be considered in future urban planning</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">The integration of low altitude economy into life requires the support of the whole society</em></p><p><p><i class="pic con"><img data alt="" src="//img. huanqiuchdn. cn/dp/api/files/imageDir/fcaf605c3bdeb25fa9745bddc42cb011u5.jpg? ImageView2/2/w/1260 "/></i></p><p>It is also widely believed in the industry that to further activate the low altitude economy, the whole society needs to work together and a series of supporting facilities need to be built. The UAV enterprise United Aircraft proposed to build a number of takeoff and landing points and other infrastructure, for example, according to the UAV size, range, load capacity and other factors, to build five categories of UAV takeoff and landing points "into households, buildings, communities, streets and counties"; Communication facilities also "must be fully covered". Through the integrated development of space, space and other communication means, all types of aircraft can be widely connected to the network</ p> <p>Yang Jiong added that if UAVs want to fly safely, they should be supported by public security, fire protection, insurance, medical care and other fields, as well as the cooperation of the whole society, just like cars. For example, many "aircraft bombing" accidents are not caused by technical failures, but by external weather, obstacles, electromagnetic interference, etc., and may even be deliberately damaged by passers-by. At present, it is difficult to define legal responsibilities</ p></section></article> one trillion and seven hundred and sixteen billion two hundred and seventy-seven million seven hundred and ninety-nine thousand and eighty Copyrighted works of Globegroup are strictly prohibited from being reproduced or mirrored without written authorization.
