Abstract: Aero sports serve as a sports practical platform for human to explore the sky, and it represents a multidisciplinary field that integrates sports, science & technology, culture, and economy in the new era. In current, the development of the low-altitude economy has been elevated to a national strategic priority, the aero sports industry is experiencing unprecedented opportunities for growth in China. This study focus on the status and strategic value of the aero sports industry in low-altitude economic system, reviews the global development trends in recent years, and systematically analyzes the science and technology potentials of China’s aero sports. The findings suggest that, based on the domestic and international advanced practices and China’s unique strengths in the sports industry, national sports authorities should refine the definition and classification of aero sports, the e-sports and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) should also be included in the classification system. In addition, the industrial optimization path which can cover include policies, markets, and technologies should be proposed, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the high-quality development of aero sports in China.
