Shanghai (Gasgoo)- INFLYNC, a Chinese startup focusing on design and manufacturing of tilt-rotating ducted-wing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, recently announced the completion of its angel+ funding rounds with tens of millions of yuan raised.
The fresh rounds were led by LightSilver Capital and Boyan Venture Capital, with participation from Shanghai Angel Group.
The new funds, with InvesTarget serving as exclusive financial advisor, will be used to support the rollout and test flights of INFLYNC's first full-scale tilt ducted-wing eVTOL aircraft, accelerating its commercial application.
In August 2024, INFLYNC completed its angel funding rounds, which raised the company for tens of millions of yuan.
INFLYNC's core technical team comprises experts from leading organizations such as AVIC, COMAC, Alef Aeronautics, MagniX, and CATL, with extensive experience in civil aviation, new energy vehicles, and eVTOL technologies.
INFLYNC has employed a rigorous development approach, combining modeling and simulation, wind tunnel testing, and flight trials to complete multiple design iterations. INFLYNC said it is the first company in China to achieve transition flight with a tilt-ducted wing eVTOL aircraft.
INFLYNC recently unveiled its flagship product, the INFLYNC L600 Pioneer, an eVTOL aircraft designed for urban air mobility. The L600 Pioneer features a hybrid extended-range tilt-ducted wing design, offering a maximum range of 600 km, a top cruising speed of 360 km/h, and the capacity to carry one pilot and five passengers. Supporting multiple takeoff and landing cycles on a single charge, it is optimized for low-altitude urban travel, combining safety, performance, noise reduction, and adaptability for future technological upgrades.
INFLYNC has secured over 500-unit pre-orders for the L600 Pioneer. The aircraft is positioned to serve short-haul transportation markets and helicopter operation cases in China and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative.
