A striking trend in the recently published *China Development Report 2024* by the Development Research Center of the State Council is the unprecedented acceleration in the improvement of new production relations that align with the development of new productive forces. This transformation is evident not only in the adjustment of macroeconomic structures but also in specific industrial sectors, where it demonstrates robust vitality and innovation. Among these, the low-altitude economy has emerged as a highlight of both China's and the global economy, thanks to its unique development model and extensive application prospects. In particular, the rapid growth of the drone industry not only showcases China's leading position in technological innovation but also lays a solid industrial foundation for the vast potential of the low-altitude economy.

In recent years, the development momentum of the low-altitude economy in China has been strong, benefiting from the joint efforts of the government, enterprises, and research institutions. On the policy front, more than 20 provinces across the country have included the low-altitude economy in their government work reports, reflecting the high importance the government places on this emerging industry. The implementation of the General Aviation Equipment Innovation and Application Plan, along with the Civil Aviation Administration’s continuous optimization of the approval system, form a timely and powerful policy "combination punch" that has cleared obstacles for the rapid development of the low-altitude economy.

As an important component of the low-altitude economy, the development of drones has been particularly remarkable. According to statistics, China accounts for seven of the top ten drone companies worldwide, a figure that not only demonstrates the strong clustering capability of China’s drone industry but also reflects China’s dominant position in the global drone market. These companies have made significant achievements in technological innovation and shown strong comprehensive strength in market expansion and industrial chain integration.

Take the transient suppression diode SMCJ48CA as an example. This bidirectional electronic component plays a crucial role in drones and other aerospace equipment. With a reverse cut-off voltage of 48V and a breakdown voltage ranging from 53.3V to 58.9V, the diode has a reverse leakage current of only 1μA, ensuring the stable operation of drones in complex electromagnetic environments. Particularly, when facing instantaneous over-voltage surges, the SMCJ48CA can quickly respond and limit the peak pulse current to 19.4A, with a maximum clamping voltage of 77.4V, thus effectively protecting the drone's circuit system. Moreover, its peak pulse power reaches up to 1500W, further enhancing the reliability and durability of drones under extreme conditions.

The rapid development of the drone industry has not only driven technological advancements and industrial upgrades in related electronic components but has also facilitated the coordinated development of the entire low-altitude economy industry chain. From drone manufacturing to aviation logistics, emergency rescue, agricultural protection, environmental monitoring, and more, the application scenarios of the low-altitude economy continue to expand, injecting new vitality into economic and social development. Meanwhile, with the gradual relaxation of low-altitude airspace policies and continuous innovation in drone technology, the future development prospects of the low-altitude economy are even more promising.

It is important to note that the rise of the low-altitude economy relies not only on technological innovation and policy support but also on the continuous improvement of new production relations. In the *China Development Report 2024*, new production relations are defined as forms of production organization and economic relations that are adapted to the development of new productive forces. In the field of low-altitude economy, this means the establishment of more flexible and efficient collaborative innovation mechanisms between industry, academia, research, and application, promoting close cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, and creating a more open and inclusive market environment.

In conclusion, the rapid development of China’s drone industry is a microcosm of the rise of the low-altitude economy under new production relations. Through the collective efforts of the government, enterprises, and research institutions, China has not only achieved remarkable success in drone technology but has also provided valuable experiences and insights for the development of the global low-altitude economy. In the future, as new production relations continue to improve and low-altitude airspace policies are further advanced, China’s low-altitude economy will face even greater development opportunities, contributing more Chinese wisdom and strength to the high-quality development of the global economy.
