Dong Zhiyi, chief expert on low-altitude economy of the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics: The low-altitude economy cannot rely on hype. Only when low-altitude safety can be maintained can low-altitude policies be liberalized丨2024 T-EDGE Innovation Conference-Titanium Media Official Website

The government work report was included in the first government work report during the two sessions this year, which has elevated the strategic status of the low-altitude economy and become one of the typical representatives of strategic emerging industries and new growth engines. Currently, more than 20 provinces have introduced low-altitude economy-related plans, and policies have been intensively implemented. By 2024 This year has become the first year of a low-priced economy. The secondary market sentiment is hot, and there are more than 7 “double stocks”.

At the 2024T-EDGE Innovation Conference and TMTpost Financial Annual Conference, which opened in Daxing District, Beijing on December 6, Dong Zhiyi, former deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China and chief expert on low-altitude economy of the China Aeronautical Society, delivered a speech on “In-depth Study and Implementation of the Party’s 20th Anniversary” “In line with the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee and vigorously develop general aviation and low-altitude economy,” the keynote speech had profound views and attracted much attention.

“The low-altitude economy cannot rely on hype, let alone rush to it. We must start from the basics, adapt measures to local conditions, and adapt to circumstances. We must be both tolerant and prudent. Tolerance means encouraging and supporting the development of the low-altitude economy, and prudence means taking precautions against safety and security in advance. Market and other types of risks. Only when low-altitude security can be maintained can low-altitude policies be liberalized. We must always put low-altitude safety first and ensure high-quality development of the low-altitude economy with a high level of security,” Dong Zhiyi said.

Therefore, he emphasized the following three points:

1. “I hope that in the process of developing drones, the whole society must put the control of safety risks first. Always remember that safety is the only thing, and everything else is zero. Without safety, there will be no low-altitude economy.” , so I specifically said at a recent meeting in Guangzhou that only when low-altitude security can be maintained can low-altitude efforts be intensified and low-altitude policies can be liberalized. For emerging aviation, we must cultivate, strengthen and develop innovatively, while for traditional aviation, we must empower and upgrade to improve quality and efficiency, and we must give full play to the leading role of the government and the market. Continuously expand new application scenarios, while adhering to bottom-line thinking and improving the ability to identify and prevent industrial risks.

2. “Infrastructure construction is an important foundation for promoting low-altitude economy. Without infrastructure construction, no matter how good the aircraft is, it will not be able to do well.” Dong Zhiyi mentioned that this is very important for cultivating diversified application scenarios. At present, my country’s infrastructure construction is still insufficient, the standard system construction needs to be further followed up, and the verification resources need to be further strengthened.

3. “The focus of the low-altitude economy lies in the scenario and the market, not in the size of its airspace – without application scenarios and markets, it will become a hype and easily lead to negative consequences.”
