A discussion on collaborative development of low-altitude economy (LAE) and mining & metallurgical engineering (MME), as well as the two-way empowerment mechanism is presented. Low-altitude technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), can be used to reshape MME, while MME can provide core materials for low-altitude aircraft. However, the collaboration between them is limited by disciplinary barriers and talent gaps, so it is necessary to build a dual system of “technology chain－talent chain”. This can be achieved by adding interdisciplinary courses, establishing actual flight certification bases in mining areas, promoting integration of relevant qualification certifications, and accelerating incubation of key technologies based on low-altitude economic industrial parks. These measures can break down discipline barriers, shorten the cycle of technology transformation, and provide support for the in-depth integration and collaborative development of LAE and MME.
