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.

Teching Aviation Technologies Co., Ltd. is headquartered in China. The company is in the business of designing and manufacturing passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

It was reported previously on another website that the company name for this aircraft was the Xiamen Tengxi Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. founded in 2022. This Xiamen company has been reported to be headquartered in Fujian, China.

Dragonfly-EV2000 passenger eVTOL subscale prototype aircraft
The Dragonfly-EV2000 is a passenger eVTOL subscale prototype aircraft. The aircraft has been designed to hold one pilot, up to three passengers and their luggage. The picture above is of an uncrewed subscale prototype aircraft of the Dragonfly-EV2000. We've shown the subscale prototype picture above because there are no illustrations for the full-scale concept design aircraft. All the specifications on this web page are for the planned full-scale concept design aircraft.

The cruise speed of the full-scale concept design aircraft is estimated to be ~180-250 km/h (~112-155 mph). The anticipated range of the aircraft is 200 km (124 m) and has an expected maximum payload weight of 360 kg (794 lb). The aircraft has tandem wings with one tilt-ducted fan in the middle of each wing. There are four tilt-ducted fans, four electric motors and the aircraft will be powered by battery packs. The fuselage will be made from carbon fiber composite to give the aircraft a high strength to low weight ratio.

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 (Estimated specifications for the planned full-scale production model):

  • Aircraft type: Passenger eVTOL full-scale production aircraft
  • Piloting: 1 pilot
  • Capacity: 3 passengers
  • Cruise speed: ~180-250 km/h (~112-155 mph)
  • Range: 200 km (124 m)
  • Maximum payload weight: 360 kg (794 lb)
  • Propellers: 4 tilt-ducted propellers
  • Electric motors: 4 electric motors
  • Power source: Battery packs
  • Windows: Panoramic wrap around windows allowing forward, left and right visibility for spectacular views for the passengers
  • Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
  • Wings: 1 low canard, 1 high main wing (tandem wings)
  • Tail: 1 V-tail
  • Landing gear: Unknown. (The subscale prototype has 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.
