【Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and four other departments: Encouraging research and development of flying car technology, product verification, and exploration of commercialization applications】The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China have issued the "General Aviation Equipment Innovation Application Implementation Plan (2024-2030)". It proposes that by 2030, a new development model for the general aviation industry characterized by high-end, intelligent, and green development will be established, supporting and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the "short-haul transport + electric vertical take-off and landing" passenger network, with general aviation equipment fully integrated into all areas of people's production and life, becoming a powerful driving force for low-altitude economic growth and creating a trillion-dollar market size. The plan includes supporting the development of Smart Air Mobility (SAM) equipment, promoting airworthiness certification for a batch of new consumer general aviation equipment such as electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL). It encourages research and development of flying car technology, product verification, and exploration of commercialization applications.
