taking off from the ground and traveling around the city in a "flying car" is very convenient for city sightseeing or daily commuting... with the rapid development of low-altitude economy and evtol, people are full of imagination about the future of air transportation. not long ago, ae200 vertical take-off and landing aircraft under wofei changkong was unveiled at the 2024 world power battery conference and was shortlisted for the latest fortune best design list - 50 best designs, which makes people's vision of future low-altitude travel more realistic. so what is the specific prospect of evtol (flying car)?

with policy support, low-altitude economy and evtol have broad development prospects

in recent years, the chinese government's active promotion of the low-altitude economy has brought unprecedented development opportunities to the low-altitude aircraft industry and the low-altitude general aviation field. the "decision of the central committee of the communist party of my country on further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting chinese-style modernization" reviewed and approved by the third plenary session of the 20th cpc central committee clearly pointed out: "we must deepen the reform of the comprehensive transportation system and develop general aviation and the low-altitude economy." at the same time, nearly 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have written the low-altitude economy into the 2024 "government work report", providing support for the development of the low-altitude industry.

technological innovation promotes the commercialization of evtol

in addition to policies, technology is the guarantee for the safe implementation of evtol. currently, wofei changkong, my country's leading low-altitude travel company, is relatively advanced in evtol technology and airworthiness progress.

not long ago, wofei changkong achieved a key technological breakthrough. its ae200 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft airworthiness technology verification aircraft successfully completed a full-size, full-weight, full-envelope tilt-turn transition flight. the second phase of the test flight was successfully completed, becoming the first evtol company in china to complete this type of test subject, and also representing a historic breakthrough in the development of china's evtol. in addition, ae200 has now reached the bottom of all key technologies such as overall configuration, performance aerodynamics, flight control avionics, tilt-turn pitch, power energy, power distribution and environmental control, ergonomics and maintenance support, especially the verification of core system functional safety and fault reconstruction, laying a solid technical foundation for mass production models.

"ground + low altitude": industry ecosystem cooperation to empower future urban air travel

before evtol is truly implemented, there are still many factors that need to be explored and improved, including evtol operation mode, application scenarios, etc., which requires joint exploration by various ecological enterprises in the evtol industry. at present, wofei changkong has established cooperation with citic offshore helicopters, hualong airlines, civil aviation flight university of china, gansu public aviation tourism and other enterprises and units, and will jointly explore the application of evtol in low-altitude manned travel, urban sightseeing, emergency rescue and other aspects.

in addition, wofei changkong also co-exhibited with zeekr at the 2024 world power battery conference not long ago, demonstrating the deep integration and innovative practices of "low altitude + ground" in the field of new energy. it will accelerate the construction of future-oriented ground-to-air integrated green travel solutions by integrating the industrial chains and advanced technologies of both parties, allowing urban travel to move towards a greener and more sustainable future.

in general, with the joint efforts of all parties, the development prospects of evtol (flying cars) are promising. we expect that the relevant policies and regulations of evtol will be further improved in the future, and at the same time, wofei changkong will be able to break through more key evtol technologies and further promote the commercialization of evtol, so that people can have a new experience of safe, economical, comfortable and environmentally friendly urban air travel.
