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.

While it is unknown when the Guangdong Pengcheng Wanli Aviation Technology company was founded, it is based in China. The company is in the business of making passenger and air cargo electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM) or in China, it is called the low-altitude economy.

PC-200 passenger eVTOL multicopter mockup aircraft
The PC-200 is a two passenger eVTOL multicopter mockup aircraft. It is unknown if the aircraft will be piloted or have autonomous piloting. The aircraft can be used for multiple types of air missions including on-demand air taxi service.

The projected cruise speed of the aircraft is 120 km/h (75 mph), the expected cruise speed is 120 km/h (75 mph), the intended range is 150 km (93 miles) and the proposed cruise altitude is 1,500 m (4,920 ft). The aircraft has eight propellers, eight electric motors and is powered by battery packs. The empty weight of the aircraft is estimated at 980 kg (2,160 lb), with a calculated maximum payload weight of 220 kg (485 lb) and has a predicted maximum takeoff weight of 1,200 kg (2,645 lb). The aircraft has a canopy over the cockpit, has one high main wing, has one horizontal stabilizer and has two vertical stabilizers. The fuselage will be made from carbon fiber composite to give the aircraft a high strength to low weight ratio. The landing gear has fixed quadricycle wheeled landing gear.

It is important to remember that all concept design aircraft specifications are estimated and can or will change as prototypes and production models are made, tested and flown with real world avionics, components and payloads.

Specifications:

• Aircraft type: Passenger eVTOL mock-up aircraft
• Piloting: Pilot or autonomous
• Capacity: 2 people and their luggage
• Cruise speed: 120 km/h (75 mph)
• Maximum speed: 150 km/h (93 mph)
• Range: 150 km (93 miles)
• Cruise altitude: 1,500 m (4,920 ft)
• Maximum altitude: 6,000 m (19,685 ft)
• Empty weight: 980 kg (2,160 lb)
• Maximum payload weight: 220 kg (485 lb)
• Maximum takeoff weight: 1,200 kg (2,645 lb)
• Propellers: 8 propellers
• Electric motors: 8 electric motors
• Power source: Battery motors
• Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
• Window: Canopy over cockpit
• Wings: 1 main high wing
• Tail: 2 vertical stabilizers and 1 horizontal stabilizer
• Landing gear: Fixed quadricycle wheeled landing gear
• 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.
