The general aviation division of Chinese aircraft manufacturer AVIC has released a picture of what appears to be a full-scale flying model of an eVTOL aircraft.
The piloted, two-seat technology demonstrator for Electra.aero's hybrid-electric ultra-short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft is set to fly this year for testing.
Plan to feature new long-range munitions and vertical-takeoff-and-landing systems as part of a long-term approach that looks to cut traditional squadrons.
Developing a platform for the crop-spraying market is not easy, but a pair of startups are hoping that the market will serve as an early application for eVTOLs.
