China plans to complete the development of a comprehensive standards system for the low-altitude economy by 2027. The framework will cover the entire industry value chain, including low-altitude aircraft, supporting infrastructure, air traffic management, safety oversight, and practical application scenarios.

The country’s low-altitude economy is already entering a phase of accelerated industrialization. China has formed a relatively complete ecosystem encompassing R&D, equipment manufacturing, operational services, and infrastructure development, laying the groundwork for large-scale commercialization and regulated growth of the sector.
