Abstract:
At the policy level of low-altitude economy, China has basically formed a multi-level policy system from the central government to local governments. The specific policies focus on the construction of low-altitude flight support system, the development of low-altitude manufacturing industry, the expansion of low-altitude flight application scenarios, the improvement of low-altitude scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and support measures to low-altitude economy. At the legal level of low-altitude economy, China has built a regulatory system with the Civil Aviation Law of China as the core, and various laws and regulations as well as normative documents in the field of general aviation and unmanned aircraft as the guidelines, but there is still a lack of specific regulations for the emerging electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. As a leading city in the development of low-altitude economy in China, Shenzhen has successively promulgated the “Several Measures to Support the High-quality Development of Low-Altitude Economy in Shenzhen” and the “Regulation on Promoting the Low-Altitude Economy Industry in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone”, which together constitute the “Shenzhen Model” with highly coordinated policies and laws of low-altitude economy. In order to promote the long-term sustainable development of low-altitude economy, it is necessary to achieve coordination between policies and laws, between the central government and the local governments in terms of the policies and regulations of low-altitude economy, as well as the internal coordination in the large city clusters such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta region and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area under the regional coordinated development model.
