AeroPilotX is reimagining three-dimensional urban transportation through revolutionary design and cutting-edge technology, establishing a new low-carbon paradigm for future mobility. Built on the core philosophy of "triple safety redundancy", it integrates a multi-duct configuration, triply-redundant flight control system, and geo-fencing technology, reducing accident rates to just 1/10 of conventional aircraft.



Its proprietary triple-redundant flight control system features automotive-grade processors for millisecond-level failover, achieving an ultra-low failure rate of 10⁻⁹/hour. The built-in AI co-pilot enables seamless dual-mode switching, adapting to complex urban environments. The titanium alloy safety cage delivers 5X greater impact resistance, while integrated aviation airbags (0.05s activation) create a comprehensive active occupant protection system.



AeroPilotX combines triple positioning system (BeiDou, 5G-A, and PNT) with geo-fencing control to ensure centimeter-level precision positioning and secure flight within restricted zones. Featuring a ducted propulsion system, it boosts thrust efficiency by 30%, while enabling vertical takeoff/landing and ground mobility within 600 meters altitude. This achieves point-to-point linear commuting, completely bypassing the constraints of ground road networks.



The product features a modular design for its battery pack, rotors, and arm struts to enable quick disassembly. The 90kg-capacity cabin integrates a 180° panoramic viewport and intelligent touch-control interface for seamless adaptation across diverse use cases. Aerodynamically refined with functional aesthetics, its eight ducted fans arranged in a circular configuration provide vector thrust control, delivering wind resistance up to Level 8 while maintaining a low-drag, streamlined airframe.
