In December 2023, the Central Economic Work Conference established the low-altitude economy as a strategic emerging industry.
In 2025, the Government Work Report clearly proposed to "promote the safe and healthy development of emerging industries such as commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy."
According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, by 2024, the size of my country's low-altitude economic market will reach 1.5 trillion yuan, and by 2035, it is expected to reach 3.5 trillion yuan.
The application scenarios of low-altitude economy are very wide and are constantly expanding: including air logistics, air tourism, urban management, police law enforcement, resource supervision, emergency response, environmental monitoring, energy inspection, fire inspection and other fields.
Therefore, there is a huge demand for talents in all links, and there is a shortage of talents in operation mode, aviation and airspace management services, drone research and development and manufacturing, infrastructure construction, etc.
According to the "2024 Beijing Human Resources Market Salary Status Report (Fourth Quarter)" of the Beijing Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the median monthly average salary of aircraft automatic control algorithm engineers reached 29,435 yuan, and the median monthly average salary of drone flight technology engineers and low-altitude aircraft designers both exceeded 26,000 yuan.
So, what are the subdivision directions does the low-altitude economy include?
1. Aerospace Engineering and Aircraft Design
Research direction: R&D and design of low-altitude aircraft such as drones, eVTOL, power system optimization, airworthiness certification, etc.
Employment positions: aircraft R&D engineer, airworthiness certification expert, power system engineer, etc.
2. Electronic information and intelligent communication
Research direction: Low-altitude communication systems (such as 5G/6G drone cluster communication), anti-jamming technology, navigation and positioning systems, etc. are the core technologies to ensure low-altitude flight safety.
Employment positions: low-altitude communication system architect, intelligent navigation algorithm engineer.
3. Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
Research directions: autonomous decision-making algorithm of drones, low-altitude traffic management software development, aircraft cluster collaborative control, etc.
Employment Position: AI algorithm engineer, low-altitude traffic management software development expert.
4. Transportation Engineering and Urban Planning
Research direction: low-altitude logistics hub design, coordinated management of airspace and ground traffic, and smart city air traffic network planning.
Employment Position: Low-altitude economic policy consultant, smart city project manager.
5. Policies, Regulations and Operations Management
Research direction: formulation of low-altitude airspace management regulations, industrial chain operation model design, safety standards formulation, etc. Need to be familiar with international aviation regulations and local policies.
Employment positions: low-altitude economic policy researcher, aviation operations manager.
6. Composite materials and green energy technology
Research direction: research and development of lightweight aviation materials, design of new energy power systems (such as hydrogen fuel cells, lithium batteries), promote the greening of low-altitude aircraft.
Employment: Aviation materials engineer, director of sustainable energy research and development.
