  The low-altitude economy refers to a comprehensive economic system centered on both manned and un-manned low-altitude flight operations conducted in airspace below 1,000 meters(and in special cases,up to 3,000 meters),with applications spanning multiple sectors.Amid the global boom,China has elevated the low-altitude economy to a national strategic priority,and is actively driving the industry's transformation and upgrad-ing.According to forecasts by the Civil Aviation Administration of China(CAAC),the market size of China's low-altitude economy is expected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan by 2025 and exceed 3.5 trillion yuan by 2035,gaining a significant position in the global innovation landscape.Various innovators are actively pursuing intellectual prop-erty(IP)portfolios and achieving new technological breakthroughs.This surge in innovation is not only trans-forming traditional industries but also giving rise to entirely new business models,fostering new engines of eco-nomic growth.Today's Bilingual Weekly highlights five major application scenarios of the low-altitude economy,showcasing the potential of"low-altitude plus"to drive cross-sector integration through strong IP protection and technological innovation.

  smart logistics

  At Shenzhen's Window of the World theme park,visitors can simply place an order on their smartphones and receive food deliveries within 15 minutes via drones,effectively solving the challenge of food delivery.The delivery companies have contin-uously advanced drone technologies,particularly in intelligent scheduling algorithms and advanced safety systems,enabling drones to fly steadily even in adverse weather conditions.

  With growing market demand,the potential for low-altitude logistics continues to expand.For example,the Phoenix Wings drones have been deployed across the Pearl River Delta region,completing more than 5,000 daily deliveries to mountainous and island areas.Compared to traditional methods,this reduces transportation costs by 60%.The rapid iteration of emerging technologies is accelerating the restructuring of conventional logistics workflows,injecting powerful momentum into the indus-try's intelligent and efficient transformation.

  precision agriculture

  During this year's spring ploughing season,more than 120 unmanned intelligent sugarcane plant-ers were deployed in Baise,Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Equipped with the BeiDou Nav-igation Satellite System,these autonomous machines carried out integrated sowing operations at a sugarcane demonstration base.By reducing labor intensity and cutting costs,they also boosted the sugarcane germination rate to 90%.It is estimated that this could raise farmers'income by 400 to 500 yuan per mu.

  With the rise of the low-altitude economy,unmanned agricultural equipment is becoming the key driver of agricultural modernization.Empowered by patented technologies,the deep integra-tion of digital tools with agricultural production is not only improving efficiency,but also signifi-cantly strengthening rural low-altitude service capabilities,providing renewed impetus for rural re-vitalization and industrial upgrading.

  aerial tourism

  In Chengdu,Sichuan Province,the combination of low-altitude economy and cultural tourism is emerging as a new growth driver,creating a strong supply-demand trend.In January this year,Chengdu Cultural&Tourism De-velopment Group successfully completed the test flight of its first low-altitude tourism route.The route connects the iconic panda IP with the World Heritage Site Dujiangyan,allowing visi-tors to board a sightseeing flight over the centu-ries-old water conservancy project after visiting the panda base.Data shows that from January to April 2025,Chengdu recorded over 45,000 low-altitude tourism flights,including aerial sightsee-ing and skydiving,an 18.1% year-on-year increase.

  Among different application scenarios,the low-alti-tude cultural tourism sector is rapidly evolving into a new consumer trend,thanks to its unique appeal and strong market penetration.In recent years,China has in-troduced a series of policies to support the development of low-altitude tourism,exploring a comprehensive in-dustry value chain driven by aerial tourism and extend-ed through integrated offerings in accommodations,din-ing,cultural experiences,and entertainment.

  urban transportation

  An"air taxi"drew public attention recently at the Luo-gang Low-Altitude Traffic Operation Center in Hefei,An-hui Province.This"air taxi"is an electric vertical take-off and land-ing(eVTOL)aircraft.The aircraft is compact,agile,and capable of easy takeoff and landing.The"air taxi"provider has actively pur-sued Chinese and international IP strategies around this aircraft,and one of its related patents was awarded the Guangdong Provincial Patent Award in 2019.

  In recent years,empowered by cutting-edge technologies such as electrifi-cation and intelligent systems,the low-altitude intelligent transportation sec-tor has given rise to a number of leading companies such as EHang and XPeng AeroHT.Strong IP protection policies and operational frameworks are playing a key role in fostering collaboration across the entire low-altitude transport value chain.These measures help accelerate the commercialization of technological achievements and support companies in overcoming challenges in flight con-trol,battery endurance,and vertical mobility,ultimately enhancing the com-panies'competitiveness in the global market.

  emergency response

  Currently,low-altitude aerial vehicles represented by drones are increasingly uti-lized in fire and rescue operations due to their advantages in rapid response,strong maneuverability,and minimal impact from ground obstacles.For example,18 drone airports have been established in Changsha,Hunan Province,to cover residential areas and densely populated locations.These facilities can maintain 24-hour standby status and reach incident sites within a 5-kilometer radius in just 4 minutes,providing support for urban fire inspections and emergency response.

  In the long term,the development of the low-altitude economy is redefining the boundaries of speed,precision,and safety in firefighting and rescue services.With the further integration of 5G,artificial intelligence,and advanced aircraft technologies,the sector is set to undergo a shift toward integrated air-ground operations,paving the way for a more efficient,intelligent,and user-centered emergency response system.
