Aerofugia is showcasing its AE200 eVTOL aircraft at the Aero Asia show in Zhuhai, where the Chengdu-based company is highlighting its latest advances in urban and regional air mobility. The start-up is backed by China’s Geely automotive group.

Configured for two to six occupants, including the pilot, the AE200 vehicle is the backbone of the manufacturer’s push into low-altitude transportation, offering a 108-nm range and a cruise speed of 124 knots. After completing major structural assembly and core avionics installation, the first passenger-carrying aircraft AE200-100 was rolled out in late September and has since entered extensive verification work as part of its type certification program.
