Group 1 - The core achievement of Fengfei Aviation is the successful cross-strait transportation verification using its "Kairui O" eVTOL aircraft, which flew 23 kilometers across the Qiongzhou Strait in just 9 minutes, marking a national first for ton-level unmanned eVTOL aircraft [1] - The "Kairui O" aircraft features a composite wing design, allowing for vertical takeoff like a helicopter and efficient cruising like a fixed-wing aircraft, with a maximum takeoff weight of 2 tons and a payload capacity of 400 kilograms, suitable for a range of 200 kilometers [1] - The aircraft has accumulated over 50,000 kilometers of safe flight distance and has been validated for reliability in various scenarios, including cross-sea, cross-city, and night flights, and is the world's first ton-level eVTOL model to receive all three necessary certifications: Type Certificate (TC), Production Certificate (PC), and Airworthiness Certificate (AC) [1] Group 2 - The cross-sea flight was a collaborative effort involving multiple companies, including Hainan Holdings, Hainan Airport Group, Hainan Yihang General Aviation, and Pengcheng Low Altitude, marking a significant low-altitude industry event following the closure of Hainan's free trade port [2] - Hainan is leveraging its advantages in low-altitude airspace reform to promote three high-value scenarios: "low-altitude + logistics," "low-altitude + cultural tourism," and "low-altitude + emergency," aiming to enhance logistics efficiency [2] - The use of unmanned eVTOL aircraft for cross-strait logistics is expected to reduce transportation time from hours to minutes, alleviating pressure on traditional ferry and land transport across the Qiongzhou Strait, and potentially providing a "Hainan solution" for China's trillion-level low-altitude economy [2]
