Move over, sci-fi movies—China’s cutting-edge electric air taxis just landed IRL at the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai! 🚀 A fleet of homegrown passenger eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft) stole the spotlight, with the INFLYNC L600 leading the charge as the world’s first full-size tiltwing ducted-fan model. 🌟
This eco-friendly sky cruiser isn’t just sleek—it’s a game-changer for urban travel. With specs like a 600km range (that’s London to Paris! 🌍), 360 km/h cruising speed, and room for five passengers plus a pilot, it’s basically the Tesla of the skies. 🔋 Bonus: Its hybrid design allows multiple take-offs per charge, perfect for buzzing between city rooftops or scenic low-altitude joyrides.
🔧 Tech breakdown:
- 13.5m wingspan (longer than a school bus!)
- 2.8-ton max takeoff weight
- 620kg payload capacity (that’s 10 adult pandas 🐼)
As cities worldwide push for greener transport, this showcase proves China’s soaring ambitions in smart mobility. Could flying cars finally be… cleared for takeoff? ✈️💡
