Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, October 30 (Xinhua)-- Yufeng Future officially announced that its self-developed 2-ton eVTOL (Electric Vertical take-off and Landing vehicle) M1 successfully completed its maiden flight in Jinshan, Shanghai, and airworthiness related work is also moving forward in an orderly manner. The M1 real machine after the first flight will usher in the world's premiere exhibition at the 6th China International Import Expo.

CTOnews.com learned from official account that the M1 first aircraft, with a composite wing configuration, has 20 rotors, a maximum load of 500kg, a seating capacity of five people, a cruising speed of 200km / h and a designed range of 250km. In the future, it will be mainly used to solve the needs of short-distance air travel within and between cities, so that the driving distance of 2-3 hours will be shortened to about 30 minutes.

Prior to this, Yufeng officially released the manned eVTOL M1 design plan in September 2022, and the first M1 aircraft was officially off-line from the factory at the end of March 2023, and the first round of flight testing officially began in September.

Xie Ling, founder and CEO of Yufeng Future, said that the first flight of M1 successfully verified our previous judgment on China's new energy technology and industrial chain: the rapid development and iteration of China's battery, motor and electronic control technology are fully capable of supporting the future aviation electrification development in China and even the world, and we are fully capable of keeping the core industrial chain of eVTOL in China.

Yufeng Future said: "after the successful first flight of the M1 aircraft, this aircraft is expected to become 'China's first independent research and development, nationalized 2-ton electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle', realizing localization in the three core links of electric system, flight control system and composite materials, and completing the landmark breakthrough of Chinese enterprises in the global eVTOL track.
