At the 2025 Tianjin Helicopter Expo, AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China) proudly presented a scaled-down model of a large, long-range hybrid vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. This innovative aircraft adopts a six-tiltrotor and tri-wing layout, which consists of a canard, a main wing, and a V-tail. It is powered by a hybrid power system that drives the rotors.

The aircraft demonstrates impressive performance capabilities. It can carry a commercial payload of up to 600kg even at high altitudes. Moreover, it has a range of 600km, a maximum cruise speed of 380km/h, and a service ceiling of 6,000 meters. Additionally, it is capable of taking off and landing at altitudes as high as 4,500 meters. The design of this aircraft is specifically aimed at tackling the issue of short endurance that has plagued electric VTOL aircraft. Currently, the aircraft is in the conceptual design phase, and the actual aircraft is slated to make its debut at the 2026 China Airshow.
