Abstract:

As the core support for the safe operation and commercial ecosystem of the low-altitude economy, low-altitude infrastructure remains a bottleneck in the industrial chain. Its development faces technological bottlenecks, structural contradictions, and institutional constraints, which hinder the scaled growth of the low-altitude economy. In response, this study focuses on three types of capital-intensive infrastructure: low-altitude communication, surveillance, and takeoff/landing facilities. It reviews their current status and operational requirements, analyzes three deep-seated structural contradictions restricting the scaled development of the low-altitude economy, and proposes targeted solutions. The research aims to provide theoretical and practical insights for advancing the large-scale construction of low-altitude infrastructure and promoting the high-quality, scaled development of the low-altitude economy.

Key words: low-altitude economy, low-altitude infrastructure, airspace release
