On July 23 2025, Wofei Changkong (Aerofugia) announced the newly designed cockpit of its AE200 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft – the “Smart Flexible Cabin”, and unveiled it at the Shanghai 2025 International Low-altitude Economic Expo at the same time.
“The AE200 “Intelligent Flexible Cabin” was jointly created by Wofei Changkong and Fuwei Group, a leading domestic automotive parts system supplier,” said the company in a press release. “Adhering to the product concept of “safety, economy, comfort and environmental protection”, Wofei Changkong brings the “first-class” experience into low altitude, releasing the sensory enjoyment of every flight journey and reshaping the new benchmark for eVTOL interior design.
“Thanks to the design of the distributed electric propulsion system and the low-noise propeller system, the AE200 “Smart Dynamic Cabin” incorporates noise, vibration, harshness (NVH) technology and the concept of an intelligent cockpit. Starting from the sensory needs of hearing, touch, vision, smell, etc., while meeting the eVTOL airworthiness standards, it breaks the design constraints of traditional aircraft, thereby achieving diversified functional innovations in the dynamic center island, cloud-based seats, skylight light and shadow systems, and smart air stewards , creating a “first-class” level luxury cockpit that seamlessly connects every journey of air-to-ground and air-to-air connections, creating a comfortable experience for low-altitude travel in the future.
“The practical design connects the cabin space. The center island can be flexibly moved between the second and third rows with one click . The large countertop space is equipped with a refrigerator, providing storage, armrests, charging and other diversified functions, making the air journey more relaxed and elegant. The electric lifting capability makes taking and placing items easier, and works in coordination with the seat’s electric follow-up armrests to provide more comfortable and easy-to-use support and wrapping feeling. The intelligent soft luminous surface perfectly combines technological optics with skin-friendly touch, bringing a surprising experience the moment it lights up.
“The pilot’s seat adopts an integrated backrest design that fits the human body curve and supports fully electric height , backrest and tilt adjustment , satisfying the optimal driving posture for pilots of different body shapes over a wider range. It is equipped with a four-point safety belt to protect safety in all directions, making every takeoff and landing, and every cruise as stable as a rock.
“The second row seats adopt a one-touch zero-gravity design, which instantly releases physical and mental stress . The 4-way electric leg rest holds up the legs like clouds, and the follow-up armrest intelligently senses elbow pressure. The cloud-adaptive system of the lifting headrest ensures that every inch of the body has stable support, and the cabin and the outside are full of clouds. The second row seats are also equipped with four-point seat belts, which are both safe and comfortable.
“The three rows of seats use electric seat cushion folding technology , which can switch freely between the seats and the loading platform, allowing AE200 to create a private scene while reserving space for expansion, meeting diverse needs from business reception to group travel.
“The entire cabin is equipped with an intelligent ambient lighting system , designed to create a comfortable and relaxing space immersed in the starry sky. The intelligent starry sky ceiling atmosphere lighting allows passengers to look up at the bright stars in the clouds, and the diffuse lighting effects of the multi-color, multi-mode atmosphere lighting complement the spacious cabin space to create a relaxing and cozy “third space”. Each passenger can also independently adjust the overhead reading light to create an exclusive comfortable lighting zone in open spaces.
The AE200 “Smart Cabin” is also equipped with an intelligent dehumidification module and fragrance system . “The intelligent dehumidification module can intelligently sense and accurately adjust the humidity in the cabin, keeping the air in the cabin dry and pleasant at all times, effectively removing moisture and avoiding odor discomfort caused by humidity in enclosed spaces.
There is a phenomenon in psychology called the Proust effect, which refers to the disappearance of early memories triggered and awakened by smell. The AE200 fragrance system provides three fragrance options, which can expand the imagination of flying with the sense of smell, allowing passengers to “smell” the unique scenery outside the cabin when “flying over” mountains, rivers, lakes and seas at low altitude.”
The AE200 “Intelligent Flexible Cabin” is equipped with aviation-grade safety seats and restraint systems. It adopts a seat structure that meets impact overload standards (maximum overload of 26G) and a four-point seat belt system to ensure that passengers are firmly controlled during takeoff, landing and emergency situations, effectively reducing displacement and secondary injuries.
