Abstract
The “14th Five-Year Plan” and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035 propose to strengthen the construction of strategic emerging industrial clusters, promote the deep integration of the internet, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, etc. with the real economy, facilitate the development of advanced manufacturing, and consider UAVs as an important breakthrough, providing significant opportunities for the development of the UAV industry. Therefore, this article takes the current status of the UAV industry development as a starting point, analyzes the exploration and practice of the UAV development model based on the low-altitude economy, and discusses strategic suggestions to promote the development of UAVs empowered by the low-altitude economy. Through analysis, this article aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for promoting the sustainable development of the UAV industry under the wave of the low-altitude economy.
