Recently, a Chinese 2-ton eVTOL — an electric air taxi independently developed by the company “Aeroht (Fengfei) Technology” — completed a demonstration flight in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan. This is the first flight of a large eVTOL in Central Asia and the first deep contact of Chinese high-tech eVTOL with the region’s low-level industry.
The flight was organized by the company “Aeroht (Fenfei) Technology” together with Alatau Advance Air Group Ltd. (AAAG). AAAG, which is an important strategic partner of “Fenfei” in Central Asia, makes a significant contribution to the promotion of low-level industrial technology in Kazakhstan.
During the demonstration flight of the Fanfei eVTOL, the entire flight cycle along the designated route was smoothly completed: a vertical takeoff, transition to horizontal flight, return transition, and safe landing. This not only showcased the company’s mature capabilities in designing aircraft, flight control, and integration of power units, but also confirmed the adaptability and safety of the eVTOL in the typical climatic and air conditions of Kazakhstan.
In the future, AAAG also plans to create a network of sites for vertical takeoff and landing, connecting key transport hubs of the region through low-altitude air routes. For example, the use of an “air taxi” to deliver tourists from Alma-Ata airport to the Medeo skating rink in 10–12 minutes will significantly increase the efficiency and quality of tourist trips.
Se Ziya, senior vice president of Aeroht (Fenfei) Technology, stated that the company’s successful first flight in the region serves as a model for large-scale application of eVTOL and will accelerate the introduction of eVTOL technology in Kazakhstan and other countries of Central Asia, considering such diverse scenarios as air transport, mountain tourism, transfers to ski resorts and tourist attractions, last-mile logistics, emergency medical assistance, and servicing energy platforms.
