AutoFlight, a producer of autonomous electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology, successfully executed a formation flight of three autonomous eVTOL aircraft in Shanghai, China. The company calls this a “milestone moment for the aviation industry”.
According to AutoFlight “the formation flight saw three generations of the “Prosperity I” aircraft, indicating the rapid evolution of the aircraft’s development. The company plans to make the prototypes into products, with a cargo version set to be released for safe cargo transport in Asia next year, and a passenger version gradually developed in the coming years, meeting the highest safety standards for aviation.
“The company, with dual headquarters in Augsburg, Germany, and Shanghai, China, previously achieved a record flight in February 2023 where one of their prototypes covered 250 km on a single battery charge, demonstrating the potential for sustainability in the sector.”
