If you’re a newcomer to China eVTOL news and/or China’s low-altitude economic development, this article in Vertiflite's September/October issue of the Vertifical Flight Society can serve as a handy guide.

In the coming weeks, I will be dumping a slew of translated government plans - watch out for that.

In my last update, I mentioned that Aerofugia successfully conducted the first public demonstration flight of its AE200 eVTOL aircraft at Chengdu HuaiZhou Airport. The demonstration showcased the aircraft's capabilities through full tilt-rotor flight tests under full-size and full-weight conditions.

Moving forward, the AE200 will continue testing in extreme conditions, including high and low temperatures, before entering mass production, which is expected to occur after obtaining its airworthiness certificate around 2026. Aerofugia also plans to begin crewed flight testing next year.

As expected, Aerofugia issued a press release plus the below video.

Check it out.
