历史首次！两架eVTOL发生空中交通事故

Group 1 - Guangdong Huitian Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. (Xiaopeng Huitian) experienced an incident during a dual aircraft formation exercise at the Changchun Airshow, where two eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) made contact due to insufficient flight spacing, resulting in one aircraft landing normally while the other sustained damage and caught fire during landing [1][3] - There were reports of a passenger being injured in the incident, who has since been sent to the hospital for treatment, with no life-threatening conditions reported [3] - Industry experts highlighted that eVTOLs typically support both autonomous and manual operation modes, indicating that flaws in flight path planning or equipment failure in autonomous mode, as well as potential human error in manual mode, could lead to such accidents [3] Group 2 - The incident underscores the complexity of the low-altitude economic operating environment, emphasizing the need for heightened safety measures across the industry [3]
