In Panyu, Guangzhou, by clicking on the mobile mini program to book a helicopter, you can fly to Shenzhen in half an hour via an "air taxi"; At the Tangjiagang Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Logistics Operation Base in Zhuhai, drones carry fresh seafood across nearly 100 kilometers and deliver it directly to Guangzhou in just 55 minutes... Nowadays, the low altitude economy is reshaping the spatial and temporal pattern and production lifestyle of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and the "1-hour living circle" is accelerating its extension into the air. The low altitude lifestyle cannot be separated from the support of the low altitude industry. Xiaopeng Huitian, headquartered in Guangzhou, is a flying car company that has developed a "land aircraft carrier" with vehicle aircraft separation and dual use of land and air, which can run and fly. Our flying car factory has been preliminarily built and put into trial production, and the automated production line will achieve the production of one flying car every half hour. The 'Land Aircraft Carrier' is planned to be mass-produced and delivered within this year, and has already received 7000 advance booking orders, "said Qiu Mingquan, Vice President of Guangdong Huitian Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. In March of this year, the flying car "GOVY AirCab" independently developed by GAC Group's Gaoyu Technology completed its first scene flight demonstration in the core urban area of Haixinsha, Guangzhou. It is reported that the product has officially entered the airworthiness certification stage, and the Guangzhou factory will achieve the first aircraft offline in May this year. It is expected to start mass production and delivery by the end of 2026. Su Qingpeng, founder of Gaoyu Technology, said that after the commercial operation of flying cars in the future, passenger prices are expected to gradually adjust to the level of private cars, making "flying" a travel choice within reach of the public. The application scenarios of low altitude economy are constantly expanding, from commercial distribution, medical emergency to industrial inspection, constantly refreshing people's imagination. Meituan drones have opened regular delivery routes in Dongguan, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai, with a fastest delivery time of 15 minutes; SF Express has set up an emergency medical supplies transportation network along the Guangzhou Shenzhen Hong Kong high-speed railway; More than 5000 DJI drones from Guangdong Power Grid have achieved automatic inspection of transmission lines... According to data released by the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Guangdong has gathered over 30% of the country's low altitude industrial chain enterprises, reaching 15000, including a group of leading enterprises such as Yihang Intelligence and DJI Innovation. The "2025 Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Low altitude Industry Blue Book" points out that the Greater Bay Area has formed a complete industrial chain from upstream core components and new materials, to midstream unmanned aerial vehicles, eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), general aircraft manufacturing, and downstream logistics distribution, urban transportation, emergency rescue and other diverse scenarios. The takeoff of low altitude economy also relies on the coordinated efforts between cities. Guangzhou plans to build 10 low altitude take-off and landing bases, 100 take-off and landing sites, and 1000 take-off and landing points by 2030, and establish flight camps; Zhuhai has added a dedicated land category for "low altitude takeoff and landing facilities" in the municipal construction land classification, providing scientific decision-making basis for the establishment of low altitude airspace routes and the selection of takeoff and landing points; In December last year, the low altitude industry regulatory units, key enterprises, and industry associations in multiple cities such as Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, and Zhuhai reached multiple cooperation agreements... A three-dimensional and networked low altitude economic industry ecosystem is accelerating its formation. In recent years, the Greater Bay Area has prioritized the cultivation of low altitude economy as a strategic emerging industry and launched a series of measures with significant results. Guangdong Province actively deploys high-quality development of low altitude economy, issues the Action Plan for Promoting High quality Development of Low altitude Economy in Guangdong Province (2024-2026), and introduces relevant measures to support high-quality development of low altitude economy; Shenzhen has released a high-quality construction plan for low altitude infrastructure, planning to add 174 new takeoff and landing sites; Zhuhai opens land island logistics drone routes, creating a low altitude economic demonstration zone for islands; Hong Kong will draft the Action Plan for the Development of Low Altitude Economy this year, which will formulate appropriate infrastructure, related supporting facilities, standards, and regulations for the long-term development of low altitude flight activities... According to the relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Government, facing the "15th Five Year Plan", Guangdong will vigorously expand market applications, develop open commercial applications and public service scenarios, improve infrastructure networks such as takeoff and landing points, strengthen the construction of a safety centered institutional system, and promote high-quality development of the low altitude economy with a more open attitude and pragmatic work.
