Recently, China has independently developed2-ton eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Vehicle)M1's first aircraft successfully completed test flight in ShanghaiConsidered as the future 'air taxi'EVTOL aircraftAllow a 2-3 hour driveShorten to around 30 minutesSome Shanghai netizens claim thatI finish work at 6pm,At 7 o'clock, go to Yangcheng Lake to eat hairy crabs.This originally sounded like the situation in science fiction elementary school,It is expected to become a reality with the help of 'aerial taxis'So, what exactly does it look like?How to use it again?The 'air taxi' looks like thisThis first aircraft adopts a composite wing configuration schemeWith 20 rotorsThis machine is equipped with an electric systemFlight control systems, composite materialsLocalization of all three core linksHow do I use 'aerial taxi'?This type of aircraftCan take off and land vertically like a helicopterMaximum load 500 kgCan accommodate 5 peopleCruise speed 200 km/hThe designed range is 250 kilometersIn the future, it will mainly be used to solve problems within citiesShort distance air travel demand between citiesAllow a 2-3 hour driveShorten to around 30 minutesit is reportedThis machine has low requirements for the venueCompared to helicoptersIts safety is higherCan achieve the safety level of civil aviation aircraftAnd due to the use of electric driveCan achieve low noise and zero carbon emissionsHow is the current airworthiness promotion?Previously, Yufeng Future was established in September 2022Officially released to the publicManned eVTOLM1 Design SchemeAt the end of March 2023The first M1 aircraft was officially taken offline from the factoryAfter six months of testing on various systemsAnd full machine level testing optimizationM1 in September 2023Officially starting the first round of flight testingRapid progress in over 30 daysComplete full power ground testingElectromagnetic compatibility testingFull power aerial testingPneumatic servo elasticity testPower system failure mode testingHover test flight, low-speed flight test flight, etcMultiple major testing projects and successful first flight(Economic Reference News)...
