Low-Altitude Economy Is Not About Flying More — It’s About Weighing Less
In the emerging low-altitude economy, competitiveness is not defined by the number of aircraft, but by materials science capability.To make an aircraft fly one minute longer, the bottleneck is rarely the engine or the battery.It lies at the very foundation of engineering: Structural Weight.
Lighter structures mean:
Lower energy consumption
Higher stability and safety
Greater payload and design flexibility
More sustainable commercial models
Why Magnesium Alloys Matter
Among all lightweight structural materials, magnesium alloys stand out:
The lightest structural metal in the world
Density is only ~66% of aluminum
Specific strength comparable to certain titanium alloys
Excellent electromagnetic shielding, ideal for highly electrified and sensor-intensive aircraft systems
Low-altitude aviation is not a competition of “who can fly,”
but of who can reduce structural weight more effectively.
Additive Manufacturing Unlocks Magnesium’s True Potential
With the rapid maturation of metal additive manufacturing (LPBF / M-PBF), magnesium alloys are no longer limited by traditional processing constraints.
Studies and industrial practices show that:
Magnesium alloy powder-based AM can reduce part count by 30–50%
Enables internal lattice structures and topology optimization
Significantly lowers assembly complexity while improving reliability
This combination provides a real engineering path toward scalable, lightweight low-altitude aircraft.
Tangshan Weihao Magnesium Powder: Material Capability at the Foundation
