Summary of the Conference Call on Low Altitude Economy Standards Industry Overview - The conference focused on the **low altitude economy**, a burgeoning sector in China, which is now entering a new phase of standardization with the release of the 2025 guidelines by multiple government departments, including the Ministry of Transport and the National Development and Reform Commission [1][3]. Core Points and Arguments Five Core Areas of Focus 1. **Low Altitude Aircraft**: - The guidelines specify standards for various types of low altitude aircraft, including drones and light aircraft, focusing on dimensions, payload capacity, endurance, flight altitude, and speed. This standardization is expected to facilitate the safe and orderly operation of different aircraft types [3][4]. 2. **Low Altitude Infrastructure**: - Infrastructure requirements include takeoff and landing sites, communication and navigation facilities, and meteorological monitoring. The guidelines provide clear directives on site selection, area, runway design, and supporting facilities, which will enhance the operational capabilities of low altitude aircraft [5]. 3. **Low Altitude Air Traffic Management**: - The guidelines address airspace designation, flight rules, and traffic flow management, aiming to optimize airspace utilization and ensure safety among various aircraft operations [6]. 4. **Safety Regulation**: - Comprehensive safety regulations cover the entire lifecycle of aircraft, from manufacturing to operational management, including material quality, personnel certification, and emergency response mechanisms [7]. 5. **Application Scenarios**: - The guidelines emphasize the importance of application scenarios such as logistics, agricultural protection, tourism, and emergency rescue, advocating for tailored standards to enhance the effectiveness of low altitude economic applications [9][8]. Standard Supply System - The guidelines propose a **four-dimensional integration** of standards, which includes: 1. Integration of technical standards and management norms. 2. Alignment of domestic standards with international standards to facilitate global market access. 3. Development of mandatory standards to ensure safety and environmental compliance. 4. Fusion of basic standards with application scenarios to provide a comprehensive framework for industry development [10][11][12][13][14]. Development Goals - The guidelines set two key milestones: - By **2027**, a basic standard system should be established to meet the safety and health needs of the low altitude economy. - By **2030**, it is anticipated that over **300 standards** will be developed, ensuring compatibility with international norms [15][16][18]. Important but Overlooked Content - The discussion highlighted the critical role of **funding** in the development of low altitude infrastructure, emphasizing that clear standards will facilitate better allocation and utilization of financial resources [19][20][21]. - Concerns were raised about the potential for **duplicate construction** of infrastructure due to a lack of standardized guidelines prior to the release of the new standards, which the guidelines aim to mitigate [22][23]. - The expert noted that the low altitude economy is part of a broader transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional transportation systems, indicating a significant shift in the transportation landscape [27][28]. Conclusion - The conference underscored the importance of the newly released guidelines in shaping the future of the low altitude economy in China, with a focus on safety, standardization, and the integration of various sectors to promote sustainable growth and innovation in this emerging industry [17][30].
