A glimpse of low-altitude economy development across China

A drone developed by Phoenix Wings, a cargo Unmaned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) company under China's express delivery giant SF Group, is pictured at the launching ceremony of the first batch of low-altitude economy (LAE) regulatory sandbox pilot projects held in Hong Kong, south China, March 20, 2025. As an important driving force of new economic momentum, the low-altitude economy is viewed by many as a key strategic emerging industry.

China has witnessed rapid technological and industrial development in the low-altitude economy in recent years, and the sky below 1,000 meters across the country is becoming more and more "busy".

At present, the country's major information and communication companies, as well as power battery, motor and other companies are actively participating in the low-altitude economy, and innovative elements in various fields are gathering in the low-altitude industries. (Xinhua/Chen Duo)
