By Jen Meszaros
Vertiflite, May/June 2025

The past several issues have covered numerous aspects and developments of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in China. Here’s a directory of the most advanced developments of larger Chinese aircraft—passenger aircraft with more than two seats and cargo aircraft heavier than 1 metric ton (2,200lb).

Aerofugia: AE200

The AE200 is a tilting propeller lift+lift/cruise eVTOL aircraft with eight electric propellers, four of which tilt for forward flight while the other four remain fixed.

Designed to accommodate one pilot and four passengers or carry 500 kg (1,100 lb) or 5m³ (176 ft³) of cargo, it has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 2,500 kg (5,512 lb), a mission cruise speed of 248 km/h (154 mph), a maximum level flight speed of 320 km/h (200 mph) and a range of up to 200 km (125 miles).

The AE200 can operate at altitudes of up to 1,000 m (3,280 ft) above ground level (AGL) or 3,000 m (9,843 ft) above mean sea level (MSL). As part of the 2025 flight test plan, it will undergo compliance flight verification with over 1,200 test requirements, targeting airworthiness certification by 2026.
