AEROFUGIA Debuts All-New AE200 Prototype

On July 22, the 2026 International Advanced Air Mobility Expo opened in Shanghai. On the same day, Sichuan AEROFUGIA Technology Development Co., Ltd. (AEROFUGIA), an enterprise in Chengdu Hi-tech Zone, released three major results around the theme of “hard-core products + deepening commercial operations”: the debut of an all-new AE200 prototype, the release of a practical handbook on low-altitude cultural tourism, and the signing of aircraft repeat-purchase orders. Presenting its full-chain achievements from hard-core technology to scenario-based application at one go, the company showcased its core competitiveness as a dual-track leader in China's eVTOL industry.

Powerful Debut: All-New AE200 Prototype and Low-Altitude Cultural Tourism Practical Handbook Unveiled

As an international, professional event built around the low-altitude economy, the 2026 International Advanced Air Mobility Expo held in Shanghai brought together core representatives from aircraft manufacturing, key components, operation services and low-altitude infrastructure, presenting a complete picture of China's low-altitude economy industry layout and its formidable technological strength.

At the AEROFUGIA booth, the all-new AE200 prototype, together with the “Emeishan” aviation electric engine and the “Daduhe” aviation power battery, were the undisputed stars. The full suite of self-developed core equipment forms a complete eVTOL R&D and manufacturing system, drawing large numbers of industry experts, industrial chain partners and professional visitors to stop and engage.

The newly unveiled AE200 display prototype is a benchmark work combining aviation industrial design with strong customization capabilities. Specially optimized for low-altitude cultural tourism scenarios, it delivers an all-round upgrade in product performance, exterior design, ride experience and scenario adaptability:

Exterior: the prototype features a brand-new paint scheme, and the streamlined aerodynamic configuration of the airframe has been optimized, improving overall aerodynamic efficiency while strengthening brand visual identity;

Cabin: the cabin space has been specially restructured for low-altitude sightseeing and short-haul flights, with an optimized interior functional layout and passenger flow, greatly enhancing the comfort and experience of low-altitude travel and precisely matching the core needs of low-altitude cultural tourism users.

Backed by systematic industrial design, forward engineering and user-customization capabilities, AEROFUGIA can rapidly complete aircraft adaptation, function iteration and customized upgrades for different scenarios such as low-altitude travel, low-altitude cultural tourism and emergency rescue. This addresses the industry's pain points of insufficient scenario adaptability and high customization costs of general-purpose aircraft, laying a product foundation for the multi-scenario, diversified commercial deployment of eVTOL.

The Forward-Looking Practical Handbook for Low-Altitude Cultural Tourism released at the expo is based on AEROFUGIA's practical experience with its “Bashu Low-Altitude Cultural Tourism Corridor”, offering scenic areas and operators a directly applicable, reusable guide to commercial deployment.

Focusing on the entire hands-on process of low-altitude cultural tourism projects, the handbook covers core content such as scenario site selection, route planning, safety management, operation processes, service standards and profitable commercial models, building a complete, directly reusable “business plan” for low-altitude cultural tourism and effectively filling a gap in China's practical experience in this field.

Deepening Commercial Presence: First Repeat-Purchase Order Secured, Accelerating Yangtze River Delta Ecosystem Expansion

Thanks to its solid industrial base, abundant application scenarios and collaborative innovation mechanisms, the Yangtze River Delta has become a leading demonstration region for the development of China's low-altitude economy, and one of AEROFUGIA's core regions for commercial expansion.

At the expo, AEROFUGIA signed an aircraft repeat-purchase agreement with Shanghai Xiaoxiang General Aviation Service Co., Ltd., a results-oriented general aviation operator with more than a decade of deep presence in East China.

The two parties will jointly build a fully closed-loop industrial collaboration system covering flight training, scenario-based operations and airframe maintenance, connecting the entire eVTOL industrial chain from aircraft delivery and personnel training to routine operations and after-sales support. This will help solve the industry's problems of fragmented operations and inadequate support systems, and accelerate the commercialization of eVTOL in the Yangtze River Delta.

Across this expo, from building scenario-adapted aircraft to offering actionable operation plans to signing repeat-purchase orders, AEROFUGIA fully demonstrated its full-chain industrial capabilities spanning R&D and manufacturing, standard-setting, commercial operations and ecosystem building. Distinct from the industry's single-track models of pure aircraft manufacturing or pure operation services, this has given the company a differentiated core competitive advantage.

As an industry leader, AEROFUGIA will continue to deepen its core technologies, supported by an ecosystem approach, and steadily advance the commercial deployment of eVTOL, working together with the whole industry to make low-altitude travel accessible to everyone.

To date, Chengdu Hi-tech Zone has gathered 202 core enterprises in the aerospace industrial chain, with the zone's core aerospace industry output reaching about RMB 23 billion in 2025. Among them, 100 core enterprises in the low-altitude economy industrial chain generated core output value and revenue of RMB 10 billion, while 102 core enterprises in commercial space achieved revenue of more than RMB 13 billion, reaching a domestically leading level in BeiDou RF, baseband and navigation technologies. This strong industrial foundation is providing sustained support for the steady expansion of Chengdu Hi-tech Zone's aerospace industry cluster.

Going forward, Chengdu Hi-tech Zone will continue to implement the “Build Distinctive Parks, Fill Parks with Enterprises” initiative, using chain-leading enterprises to drive the efficient clustering of industrial chains and creating a dynamic landscape of distinctive parks brimming with businesses. The zone will work hand in hand with AEROFUGIA to advance eVTOL from the first aircraft off the production line to batch delivery, and from test flights to scenario-based application, sparing no effort to build itself into a globally influential hub for advanced low-altitude manufacturing, innovative scenario application and flight service support.
