AE200 all-electric six-seat eVTOL with 200km range for urban air mobility and low altitude operations

The AE200 is an all-electric, six-seat piloted eVTOL aircraft specifically engineered for urban air mobility applications. Designed with a flexible cabin layout, this advanced aircraft delivers exceptional performance in safety, operational efficiency, passenger comfort, and environmental sustainability.

Engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern urban air transportation, the AE200 represents the future of safe, efficient, and eco-friendly aerial mobility solutions.

• Power Consumption: 135–160 kWh per flight hour
• Calculated at an industrial & commercial electricity tariff of CNY 1.5/kWh, the hourly electricity cost ranges from CNY 203 to 240, only around one-seventh of the fuel cost of a traditional 5-seat helicopter.
• Benefiting from the 6-seat layout, the comprehensive operating cost per passenger per kilometer ranges from CNY 2.8 to 3.5, representing a prominent economic advantage among peer aircraft.

• Hourly Regular Maintenance Cost: CNY 220–290 per flight hour
  As an all-electric aircraft, it eliminates complex vulnerable components such as gearboxes, hydraulic systems and turboshaft engines. Only periodic inspections on motors, flight control systems, avionics and battery thermal management systems are required, cutting maintenance frequency by over 80% compared with helicopters. The mature automotive parts maintenance system also reduces labor working-hour costs.
• Annual Airworthiness Inspection & Full-Aircraft Overhaul Cost: CNY 60,000–85,000 per aircraft

Under large-scale commercial operation, full battery replacement is required every 3.5 to 5 years. Battery financial leasing is available to reduce upfront capital expenditure.

The modular battery design allows independent replacement of faulty cell modules instead of the entire battery pack, keeping partial repair costs under control.

Equipped with a full-lifecycle traceability system, the battery supports early fault warning to minimize unexpected downtime losses caused by emergency maintenance.

• Insurance Cost: Thanks to the multi-redundancy safety architecture, aviation insurance premiums are 35%–40% lower than those of traditional helicopters.
• Streamlined Ground Operation: No professional helicopter maintenance crew is required; daily inspections can be completed at small-scale vertiports.
• Digital O&M Platform: Remote fault diagnosis and big data analysis on flight energy consumption help optimize scheduling and further reduce operating costs.

1. The 6-seat high-capacity layout delivers industry-leading low per capita operating cost, ideal for intercity commuting and high-frequency air taxi services.
2. The tiltrotor design achieves high speed and low energy consumption. With a cruising speed of 248 km/h and a range of 200 km, it boasts strong commercial adaptability for short and medium-haul routes.
3. Backed by a mature automotive supply chain, it features an intelligent comfortable cabin, sufficient domestic spare parts and controllable long-term maintenance expenses.
4. The 800V ultra-fast charging system is compatible with existing ground charging infrastructure, lowering the entry threshold for vertiport deployment.

Two sets of primary and backup flight control computers operate in parallel, collecting real-time operating data including rotating speed, torque and temperature of the 8 motors as well as battery voltage and current. Power output is dynamically allocated within milliseconds to automatically adjust flight attitude under strong winds and turbulence.

The system continuously collects hundreds of operational parameters of the power system 24/7, enabling early prediction of potential faults such as motor insulation aging, battery cell degradation, poor wiring contact and fatigue failure of tilt mechanisms. Pre-alarms effectively avoid unexpected in-flight grounding accidents.

Remote cloud-based big data analysis on power consumption and component wear helps optimize maintenance cycles and reduce losses caused by unscheduled downtime.
