Overview

• Images published on Aug. 18 depict the aircraft airborne during what observers described as a maiden flight, signaling a shift from display models to flight testing.
• The prototype shows fixed wingtip engines with tilting proprotors, a wing driveshaft for single‑engine contingency, a T‑tail, and retractable tricycle landing gear.
• Cabin size and window layout point to a small passenger configuration that appears civilian oriented, with analysts noting potential for future military roles.
• Open reporting links the effort to AVIC, while unconfirmed social media posts name HAIG’s Hafei as developer, and no designation or performance data has been disclosed.
• Parallel efforts include the UR6000 unmanned tiltrotor and Aerofugia’s AE200 eVTOL, and separate images suggest more than one crewed airframe is under evaluation.
