China's homegrown AS700 manned airship just made history with its first cross-provincial journey, cruising nearly 1,000 km and setting a new endurance record for Chinese airships! 🚀 Developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), this futuristic aircraft is turning heads with its eco-friendly design and versatility.
The AS700 can carry up to 10 passengers (including the pilot) and stay airborne for 10 hours, making it perfect for sightseeing, emergency rescue missions, or even luxury travel. With a max speed of 100 km/h and vertical take-off capabilities, it’s like a hybrid of a hot-air balloon and a helicopter—but way cooler. 💨
AVIC highlighted its low-carbon tech and cost efficiency, proving sustainability and innovation can go hand-in-hand. Could this be the start of a new era in short-distance air travel? 🌿✈️
