The information provided here is as accurate as possible; however, eVTOL information from China is sometimes sparse, incomplete or conflicting. China is promoting what they call the "low-altitude economy"—a new push for general aviation—which includes both crewed and uncrewed passenger and air cargo eVTOL aircraft.

Founded in 2022, CoolFly is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China and is in the business of designing and manufacturing passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM). Wayne Lee, CEO is quoted on the company's website, “We are not just manufacturing aircraft, we are architecting a new way of life. We aim to make personal eVTOL as ubiquitous as bicycles—affordable and accessible to everyone in the world.”

Urban passenger eVTOL multicopter (production model)
The Urban is a one passenger eVTOL production model multicopter aircraft. The pilot stands in an open cockpit and has two flight control arms and is supported by a rear back brace. As of September 2026, the company's website says the Urban eVTOL is certified to fly and is a production model.

The estimated cruise speed of the aircraft is 40 km/h (25 mph). The personal flying device has a flight time of 11 minutes when the pilot has a maximum weight of 70 kg (154 lb). The aircraft has four propellers, four electric motors and is powered by battery packs. The empty weight of the aircraft is 164 kg (362 lb), has a maximum payload weight of 90 kg (198 lb) and has a maximum takeoff weight of 254 kg (560 lb). The fuselage is made from carbon fiber composite to give the aircraft a high strength to low weight ratio. The multicopter lands on the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage.

Aircraft use
The company foresees the aircraft to be used for advanced air mobility (AAM), tourism, vacationing, outdoor activities (such fishing, hunting, boating, camping and other types of recreational activities) and for emergency medical response.

Specifications:

• Aircraft type: Passenger eVTOL multicopter (prototype)
• Piloting: 1 pilot standing
• Cruise speed: ~40 km/h (25 mph)
• Flight time: 11 minutes with a 70 kg (154 lb) pilot
• Empty weight: 164 kg (362 lb)
• Maximum payload weight: 90 kg (198 lb)
• Maximum takeoff weight: 254 kg (560 lb)
• Propellers: 4 propellers (inside a large square protective mesh)
• Electric motors: 4 electric motors
• Power source: Battery packs
• Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
• Cockpit: Open cockpit, pilot stands with a back brace
• Landing gear: Lands on the bottom of the fuselage
• Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) uses multiple propellers or electric ducted fans, each powered by electric motors, to increase safety through redundancy. If one or more components fail, the remaining ones can still ensure a safe landing. There are also redundancies of critical components in the sub-systems of the aircraft providing safety through redundancy. Having multiple redundant systems on any aircraft decreases having any single point of failure.
