In recent years, China has been actively developing aerospace technology. Developed by the Ninth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, China's first 'aerospace-manufactured electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft' successfully completed its maiden flight at Da'an Airport in Yongchuan, Chongqing on the 6th, passing all performance verifications.
From the footage, it can be seen that this aircraft adopts a separable design of flight and land vehicle modules, integrating the functionality of both a 'flying aircraft' and a 'drivable car' in one. This also symbolizes another significant step forward for China in the field of low-altitude aviation and future transportation vehicles.
According to reports from 'CCTV' and 'People's Daily', this aerospace-manufactured electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft utilizes a separable core design. Consisting of the main wings, cockpit, and chassis, it forms two major modules: the flight body and the ground vehicle, truly realizing the integration of 'car' and 'plane'.
Additionally, the aircraft's flight module (the airplane) can carry two passengers at altitudes below 3,000 meters and fly at a speed of 150 km/h. Its ground module (the car) is based on a fully electric, intelligent, wire-controlled chassis and can achieve a range of over 300 kilometers.
The reports also indicate that this low-altitude aircraft is a multifunctional low-altitude platform designed and developed by the Ninth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation in accordance with airworthiness standards. Leveraging the industrial strength of leading automotive manufacturers, it has created a highly reliable product base. With five core technologies including tilt control and intelligent flight & driving, it achieves 'aerospace-grade modular assembly'. In the future, it is expected to play an important role in fields such as transportation, logistics, and emergency support.
