Chinese eVTOL developer AutoFlight broke ground on its new assembly line in Wuhan, China, on April 10, 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The major centers of the eVTOL industry in China have so far been located in the coastal regions, particularly around the Pearl River Delta<\/a>. However, this investment represents a significant move towards expanding what in China is commonly referred to as the \u201clow altitude economy\u201d to inland cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this particular case, AutoFlight\u2019s expansion project has received official backing from the Hanyang District of Wuhan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to assembling its eVTOL aircraft, AutoFlight will also use the new facility for ground testing, flight testing, sales, and service activities and as a delivery center. The startup also plans to include an exhibition center at the site in order to showcase its aircraft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The partnership with the local government in Wuhan will also entail a demonstration flight program in the city, covering a broad range of applications, from aerial firefighting to emergency services and logistics. To this end, an \u201ceVTOL corridor\u201d is expected to be designated along the northern bank of the Yangts\u00e9 river.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The establishment of the Wuhan industrial facility follows a 157 million Yuan order (US$21.5 million \/ \u20ac19 million) announced in February 2025 by the Wuhan Hanyang Investment Development Group for 12 of Autoflight\u2019s eVTOLs. \u00a0<\/p>\n
