Currently, many places are pooling efforts to develop the low-altitude economy. In Jianhu County, Yancheng, Jiangsu, many enterprises are also proactively innovating and seeking change, integrating into the low-altitude economy industrial chain and promoting industry development.

In a workshop of an enterprise in Jianhu County, Yancheng, Jiangsu, various types of aviation food vehicles, baggage tractors, and other civil aviation equipment are being assembled and debugged. The reporter found that many traditional types of equipment are expanding their application scenarios and functions to serve the low-altitude economy.

Xu Zhigao, General Manager of the Science and Innovation Center of a certain aviation industry joint-stock company in Jiangsu: This is a skateboard chassis jointly developed with a university. The biggest feature of this product is that it is now used as a logistics chassis in the low-altitude field of aviation logistics. This is where the load is carried. It is a super chassis, on top of which upper bodies can be mounted and extended, enabling control of direction, throttle, lights, and steering—all controls are in here.

Digital transformation has also become a direction for some enterprises to enter the low-altitude economy sector. At the test site of this enterprise, relying on 5G high-precision positioning, special vehicles can perceive road conditions in real time and stop at designated positions. In the control backend, these dynamic real-time data are being transmitted to a smart management platform to achieve remote management.

Currently, Jianhu County, Yancheng, relying on the existing foundation of civil aviation equipment industry development, takes the general aviation airport as the core and, centering on low-altitude economy manufacturing and services, expands the industrial scale and supports the development of the low-altitude economy.

Wu Guanghui, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: The low-altitude economy starts from the foundation. Some emerging enterprises and new industries will come in. After new enterprises enter, they start development from low altitude and gradually move toward the high end. It can be said that this can provide a continuous stream of fresh blood for the entire aviation industry.
