About the Journal

Journal of Low-Altitude Economy and Air Mobility (JLAEAM) is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing research on the emerging low-altitude economy and next-generation air mobility systems. The journal provides a scholarly platform for interdisciplinary studies that integrate aerospace technologies, urban and regional planning, economic systems, public policy, and societal impacts related to low-altitude airspace utilization.

The journal focuses on the development, governance, and application of low-altitude air mobility, including electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), urban air mobility (UAM), regional air mobility (RAM), and supporting digital and infrastructural systems. It aims to promote evidence-based research that informs sustainable industrial development, regulatory innovation, and the safe integration of low-altitude air operations into existing transportation and economic systems.
