China’s first domestically developed two tonne electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), the Matrix 1, developed by Zhongshan FCourier Aviation Technology Co, is expected to obtain airworthiness certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China by the end of 2025, according to a senior manager of the developer, reports the China Daily news agency.
“The large eVTOL aircraft received an acceptance for airworthiness application from the Civil Aviation Administration of China in January last year, becoming the first accepted 2-ton aircraft in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,” said the report.
The aircraft completed its maiden flight early in October 2023.
