AE200 can be applied to multiple application scenarios. On April 6th, the AE200 manned electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft developed by Wofei Changkong Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Wofei Changkong) made its debut in Chengdu. On that day, in the square of the Tivoli Hotel in Chengdu Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo Park, two "flying cars" AE200, one black and one white, were particularly eye-catching. This is the largest eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft independently developed by Wofei Changkong, which has completed its first flight in China. According to relevant staff of Wofei Changkong, on January 17th this year, Wofei Changkong successfully completed the first flight test of AE200X01 aircraft; On January 31st, Wofei Changkong successfully completed its first flight in the Year of the Rabbit, marking a new stage in the AE200X01 series flight test verification work. The reporter found on site that this "flying car" is more like a helicopter in appearance, with a wingspan of 14 meters, a height of 3.5 meters, and a length of 9.5 meters. The cockpit can accommodate one driver and four passengers. At present, the range of the AE200 is from 200 kilometers to 300 kilometers, and the cruising speed can reach 250 kilometers per hour. "According to Fei Lan, the director of the marketing department of Wofei Changkong, most of the AE200 research and development team is located in Chengdu. In the development process of AE200, "safety" is the first principle that runs through the entire process, and "airworthiness" is an important manifestation of aircraft safety and reliability. Obtaining the type certificate issued by the civil aviation authority is the only recognition of aircraft airworthiness and the basic condition for the final legal and compliant flight operation. It is understood that AE200 is a solution proposed by Wofei Changkong for the implementation of low altitude travel applications in urban agglomerations, which can meet the use needs of zero emissions, low noise, and high-frequency commercial operations within urban agglomerations. It is reported that the AE200 uses new energy sources, which not only reduce noise and emissions, but also effectively reduce the cost of aviation operations. At the same time, the AE200 adopts vertical takeoff and landing, "without relying on civil airport runways. In theory, as long as there is a sufficiently spacious area, 'flying cars' can take off on site," Feilan said. The AE200 has a wide range of application scenarios, including tourism, business commuting, logistics travel, emergency medical care, etc. In the future, consumers will enjoy air travel services just like ride hailing. After popularization, the price of taking a 'flying car' is only 2 to 3 times that of a ground ride, but the efficiency will increase by 5 times. It takes more than an hour by car, and it may take more than 10 minutes to arrive, The first meeting of the Type Certification Committee (TCB) and the signing ceremony of the Special Certification Plan (PSCP) for the manned electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft AE200 of Jiliwo Aircraft Changkong were held simultaneously in Chengdu. The convening of this meeting marks the determination of airworthiness certification requirements for the largest level eVTOL aircraft in China, and the formal launch of the airworthiness certification process. A review team composed of relevant experts from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, local management bureaus, and research institutes of civil aviation, based on AE
