The guidelines state that by 2030, there will be more than 300 standards for the low-altitude economy, and a structurally optimized, advanced, reasonable and internationally compatible standards system will be basically formed, providing strong support for the sector's sound development.

The standards system will cover the entire industrial chain, including low-altitude aircraft, infrastructure, air traffic management, safety supervision and application scenarios.
