China’s aviation industry just charged up the future! 🚀
The RX4E, the country’s first domestically developed four-seat electric aircraft, has officially secured its type certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) — a major leap for green aviation tech 🌱. This means the RX4E is cleared for takeoff into mass production, paving the way for cleaner skies.
⚡ Power Meets Innovation
With a 70 kWh lithium battery and a 140 kW propulsion system, this eco-friendly flyer can stay airborne for 1.5 hours while producing zero emissions and minimal noise. Its specs? A wingspan of 13.5 meters, max takeoff weight of 1,260 kg, and versatility for pilot training, aerial photography, sightseeing, and more 🎥🌄.
🚀 What’s Next?
Developed by the Liaoning General Aviation Academy, the RX4E isn’t stopping here. Plans for hydrogen-powered, water-landing, and snow-ready variants are already in motion ⚙️. Talk about thinking outside the [air]box!
Five years in the making, this certification under China’s CCAR-23 regulations signals a new era for sustainable aviation. Who says you can’t merge tech and Mother Nature? 🌍💡
