This cutting-edge plant is dedicated to producing the air module of the Modular Flying Car Land Aircraft Carrier, and is designed with a projected annual capacity of 10,000 units.
The release continues, “Situated in the Guangzhou Development District and constructed by China Construction Fourth Engineering Bureau, the facility spans an initial footprint of approximately 180,000 sq. metres and incorporates primarily four major workshops:-
: Composites Shop
: Joint Shop
: Painting Shop
: Assembly Shop
It adds, “The manufacturing base will draw on the high-precision demands of the aviation sector while leveraging the efficiency of automotive mass production. This combined expertise aims to improve quality consistency, reduce production costs, and significantly shorten delivery timelines, fostering integration between the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry and the low-altitude economy.”
