This standard defines key terms used in low-altitude (less than or equal to 1000 m above ground) technology, including types of aircraft (e.g., drones, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOLs)), airspace categories, flight operations, services, and digital infrastructure. It supports common understanding across government, industry, and academia for applications such as drone delivery, urban air transport, and low-altitude management systems
