Your next commute option could be flying cars, as desired by the Chinese auto giant.

GAC Group, a well-known automotive manufacturer from China, is making a splash in the transportation industry with the introduction of its new eVTOL brand, Govy.

GAC's dedication to sustainable air travel is reflected in its use of automotive expertise and cutting-edge technology to develop new solutions for urban mobility.

GAC is revolutionizing commuting and connectivity in cities with Govy, its entry into the flying car market.

Introducing the AirJet

Govy's flagship aircraft, AirJet, is a cutting-edge composite-wing flying car that serves as an air taxi for distances of up to 124 miles. This groundbreaking vehicle integrates the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft with the adaptability of multi-rotor systems, enabling it to perform vertical takeoff and landing.

The AirJet is made with more than 90% carbon fiber composite materials, resulting in its being extremely lightweight — only one-third the weight of a typical car of the same size. This lightweight construction not only improves performance but also allows for longer electric flights.

Performance and features of the AirJet

The AirJet is powered by GAC's proprietary electric drive system, which enables it to reach speeds of up to 155 miles per hour. The current model has a range of over 124 miles, with plans to increase this range to 249 miles through the use of future solid-state battery technology. The AirJet can be recharged in just 30 minutes, allowing for quick turnaround times in operations.

The AirJet is a luxurious aircraft that prioritizes safety. It has a spacious cabin with a "1+1+X" seating arrangement that allows for flexibility for passengers. The aircraft is equipped with autonomous flight capabilities, enabling smooth operation without human intervention. Safety is a top priority in the design of the AirJet, with advanced safety systems such as redundant power and control systems, real-time monitoring, and obstacle detection to ensure secure flights.

The robo-air taxi system

GAC's vision extends beyond individual aircraft to encompass a comprehensive Robo-AirTaxi system that integrates ground and aerial transport for end-to-end smart mobility solutions. This system will utilize the Govy AirCar for short urban trips under 12.4 miles and the AirJet for mid-range travel up to 124 miles. A key aspect of this vision is the creation of a "40-minute Greater Bay Area life circle" in China, which aims to facilitate efficient intercity travel and significantly reduce transit times and costs.

Future plans and commercialization

GAC has set forth a comprehensive plan for Govy, with the goal of obtaining airworthiness certification for its flying cars by 2025. Additionally, the company intends to establish production lines and start accepting pre-orders from customers. Moreover, GAC aims to launch demonstration operations in two to three cities in the Greater Bay Area of China by 2027.

Kurt's key takeaways

GAC Group is leading the way in urban aerial transportation with its flagship AirJet and innovative technology. Its comprehensive ecosystem approach aims to make urban mobility smarter, safer, and more sustainable. As aerial vehicles become increasingly integrated into our transportation networks, GAC's initiatives could shape how we navigate our cities and connect with one another.
