Based on three-dimensional analysis framework of technology, efficiency and quality, the basic characteristics of low-altitude economy are highly aligned with the concepts of New-Quality Productive Forces, and thus can effectively revolutionize the drivers, the efficiency, and the quality of development. From the perspective of the three elements of productive forces, the development of low-altitude economy significantly improve laborers’ quality, profoundly transform and upgrade the means of labor, and extensively expand the targets of labor. However, its current development faces problems of imbalance and inadequacy, giving rise to challenges such as employment crowding-out effects, income polarization, core technology dependence and technological divides, imbalanced resource allocation, environmental disturbances, and safety risks. To address these problems, it is essential to build a three-in-one innovation ecosystem featuring technology, infrastructure, and application scenarios, to improve an institutional system of co-working job security, industrial synergy, and safety safeguards, so that, in the process of dynamic adaptation between productive forces and production relations, we can boost the low-altitude economy to empower the quality development of New-Quality Productive Forces.
