The outside world is moving so fast!
Lao Fox found out today that on a certain treasure App, they have even started to sell pure electric "helicopters", and they also have free shipping......
Wait, strictly speaking, although it is similar to a helicopter, it is officially called a "manned aircraft", which looks like this~
At first, the old fox thought it was some kind of gimmick for publicity.
Until I clicked into this store, I found that they had a link for Luo Yonghao's "Make a Friend" live broadcast room.
It was also pointed out that the order placed in their live broadcast room yesterday was that the original price of 2.39 million for an unmanned manned aircraft could be reduced by another 400,000, and the total price of 1.99 million could be delivered to your home free of charge.
This...... Really?
The old fox still has to look at the details ~
Some of the data that is publicly available:
The EH216-S aircraft, although unmanned, has 2 seats;
Well... In the old fox's mind, there is already a picture of "Mr. Ba taking his little wife on a date".
This product is also called by the company as "the world's first manned unmanned electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that has obtained type certificates and standard airworthiness certificates to provide safe, automatic and environmentally friendly smart urban air mobility solutions";
What I didn't understand was that the Civil Aviation Administration issued them a type certificate last year, and they started selling in compliance.
Since it is unmanned, the person who takes the plane does not need to be certified.
The official also said that the aircraft flew according to the route set in advance, point-to-point straight flight, effectively avoiding safety accidents caused by human error.
Moreover, there is no need for large airports and taxiing runways to lay out the urban air mobility market.
Because it is pure electric, battery life is the key.
After asking customer service and sales, Lao Hu learned that charging with industrial power supply, fully charged in 2 hours, can fly for 15-25 minutes, and the cruising range is about 30km in the air.
In addition, the flight altitude is limited to 120 meters, and there is no need for a parachute or anything.
Lao Hu also helped everyone ask customer service, bought this flagship machine, and did not send a parachute. Since you don't send a parachute, then the old fox won't buy it, you guys ~
In addition, they also have a long-endurance, model VT-30, which is also called an unmanned manned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
This model can meet the needs of intercity point-to-point direct flights with a range of 300km and a flight time of 100min.
The most important question is! If you buy this 2.39 million alone, what about the insurance?
If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, and you can't afford it, and you don't have to delay the old fox to ask clearly, if all the brothers here want to buy it to deliver takeaways......
The news that Lao Hu can help you confirm is that they cover a product quality insurance;
If you want to buy any third-party liability insurance, you can buy it yourself, or you can help them buy it, 20,000 a year, the insurance amount can be bought up to 2 million.
Well, the basic situation of the old fox has helped you ask clearly, there is a heart-warming "boss" has not? get one for the brothers to rise and gain insight ~
After all, at the moment, this is a high-tech gadget with "zero negative reviews".
Should I say it or not, in fact, after learning so much, Lao Hu also found that the low-altitude industry and future industry, which I thought were still at the level of propaganda, were really already on the ground.
And, there really is something made!
Last month, Lao Hu also saw news about the 20-minute test flight of an "air taxi" from Shenzhen to Zhuhai.
Although it was reported at that time that it was another company called Fengfei Aviation Technology, the test flight products were also of this type, eVTOL manned aircraft, but the model of the test flight could carry up to 5 people.
This thing is said to be safer than a helicopter, smarter, less noisy, and relatively low maintenance costs, and the cost of riding is not high.
In terms of specific ticket prices, some reporters present at the time learned about ~
It is said that "under the subsidy of Shenzhen and Zhuhai government departments, it can be achieved below 1,000 yuan per person"; "After large-scale operation, the estimated market price is two or three hundred yuan per person."
This fare, Lao Hu thinks it's still a bit expensive, but for the boss and the rich woman, it's just "sprinkling water".
Looking at the two things together, it is not difficult to find that some pioneering enterprises aiming at low-altitude economic development have reached the stage of actual operation.
Lao Hu also went to check it, according to the latest relevant data at the end of 2023:
There are about 2,000 domestic UAV design and manufacturing units, nearly 20,000 enterprises in operation, and the low-altitude economic scale of the mainland will exceed 500 billion yuan in 2023.
Well...... On the whole, it seems to be like that.
If this thing can be operated on a large scale soon, some brothers in first-tier cities can really give priority to experiencing "flying" to work!
But first, if that day comes, brothers, you go first......
