Prof. Hailong Huang, Assistant Professor of Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering of PolyU and Core Member of PReCIT, shared that, to unlock the full potential of LAE, it’s essential to consider airspace regulations and guidelines, surveillance of the low-altitude airspace, infrastructure readiness, and public safety. The current issue of Excel X Impact featured on “flying high in the emerging low-altitude economy,” covering PolyU pioneering technologies that will put Hong Kong at the forefront of an exciting new industry, and PReCIT’s several recommendations advising the HKSAR Government on amending existing or establishing new regulations to manage the low-altitude economy.
