The AE200-100 impresses with its dimensions: - Length: 9 meters - Height: 4.6 meters - Wingspan: 14.5 meters It features pylons with thrust propellers mounted on the wings. The aircraft is designed to carry five passengers, including the pilot, and can fly up to 200 kilometers on a single charge. The initial units will be used for various test phases — including internal and certification trials. Aerofugia plans to start mass production in 2026. By then, the company aims to expand its manufacturing capacity and open a new production facility in Chengdu, which will produce not only the AE200-100 but other future models as well. According to Aerofugia representatives: “With a range of up to 200 kilometers, the AE200-100 can be used for urban air mobility, low-altitude tourism, and emergency rescue operations. In addition, its electric propulsion system significantly reduces operational costs compared to traditional helicopters.”
