Photo courtesy of Jinshan District, Shanghai The East China Administration of Civil Aviation of China stated that the signing of the safety memorandum is conducive to deepening civil aviation safety cooperation and promoting the development of general aviation in East China. The two parties will carry out close cooperation to deepen the comprehensive connection in the model certification stage, promote model design approval, production approval and airworthiness approval, and strengthen airworthiness personnel training and technical exchanges. Safety in the process of manufacturing and operation promotes the smooth and efficient development of model airworthiness certification and certification. According to Jinshan District, Fengfei Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the earliest technology companies in China to invest in the eVTOL autopilot track. It has built an international team led by experts from China, Germany and the United States. At present, the full-scale verification machine of Shengshilong has entered the normal state. chemical flight test.
As Fengfei’s first manned aircraft, V1500M Shengshilong has a maximum take-off weight of 1500 kg, can carry 4 people, a cruising speed of 200 km/h, and a maximum range of 250 km with pure electric power. It can be used in cities, airports-intra-city and inter-city It can greatly save travel time, and the safety and operating costs are comparable to taxis.
Wu Haiying, COO of Fengfei Aviation Technology, said that the V1500M is continuing to promote various tests and the global airworthiness process of the V1500M Shengshilong, and it is planned to be put into commercial operation in 2025. The signing of the memorandum of safety cooperation with the Civil Aviation Administration has further enhanced Fengfei’s confidence in the airworthiness certification work. Fengfei will fully cooperate with the CAAC in the airworthiness certification work, and better implement the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on unmanned aircraft. Relevant management procedures require the creation of safe, efficient and convenient autonomous aircraft to unlock air traffic.
