The Honghu eVTOL pre-production prototype, developed by Huayu Xianxiang and led by Northwestern Polytechnical University doctoral graduate Bai Zhiliang, was publicly unveiled at the 2026 Inclusion·Bund Summit. The team says this marks the product's transition from the experimental R&D stage toward mass-production finalization. The aircraft has a 5-seat layout, a cruise speed of 320 km/h, a maximum takeoff weight of 2,500 kg, and an endurance of 60 minutes, and is tuned to civil aviation airworthiness standards. The team says it has completed milestones including the first flight of China's first full-tilt eVTOL, full-tilt transition flight verification, and acceptance of its type certificate (TC) application.
