Car airplane two in one! The first domestically produced eVTOL for aerospace has successfully made its maiden flight

The biggest highlight of the successful maiden flight of eVTOL is its innovative configuration of "land and air dual-use", which truly achieves seamless integration of "car+airplane" and breaks the limitations of traditional transportation scenarios. Unlike conventional aircraft, this product adopts a split core design, consisting of three major components: wings, cockpit, and chassis. It can flexibly switch between the two forms of flying body and land-based body, possessing both the low altitude flight capability of an aircraft and the ground driving function of a car, perfectly adapting to diverse travel needs.

From the perspective of core performance, this aerospace made eVTOL demonstrates its "aerospace grade" strength. The aircraft can carry two passengers and fly smoothly at a speed of 150km/h at low altitudes below 3000 meters. It adopts a distributed electric propulsion system, which combines the advantages of lightweight, low noise, and zero emissions; The land-based vehicle is built on a fully electric intelligent line controlled chassis, which can achieve a range of over 300km and can drive normally on regular roads to meet daily ground commuting needs. More noteworthy is that, relying on the independently developed automatic alignment and separation coupling mechanism, the connection and separation of the flying body and the land-based body can be autonomously controlled by the program, without the need for manual intervention, completely solving the pain points of traditional eVTOL ground movement and parking difficulties.

As a key innovative product of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Ninth Academy in the field of low altitude economy, this eVTOL combines aerospace technology with the industrial strength of automotive companies to create a highly reliable product base. With five core technologies including tilt control and intelligent flying and driving, it achieves a modular combination of "aerospace grade building blocks". Its customized cockpit and various types of chassis and wing modules greatly enhance the adaptability and flexibility of use, which can not only be used for daily low altitude commuting, but also play an important role in logistics transportation, emergency support and other fields in the future, helping to promote high-quality development of low altitude economy.

The complete success of this maiden flight is not accidental, but an important achievement in extending aerospace technology to the civilian low altitude field. It is reported that the aircraft is a multifunctional low altitude equipment designed and developed for airworthiness standards. After multiple rounds of technical research and testing, the first flight successfully completed core subject verification such as vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, route flight, and land air mode switching, fully proving the scientificity and reliability of its design, and also marking the official entry of China's aerospace low altitude aircraft into the practical stage.

Industry insiders say that the successful maiden flight of this "car airplane two in one" eVTOL is a milestone. On the one hand, it fills the market gap in the domestic aerospace manufacturing of land air amphibious low altitude aircraft, demonstrates China's hardcore strength in the field of low altitude equipment research and development, and breaks the monopoly of foreign related technologies; On the other hand, its innovative configuration and diverse adaptability will completely change the traditional mode of transportation, providing a new solution for alleviating urban traffic congestion, improving emergency rescue efficiency, and perfecting the logistics transportation system.
