Designed and developed by the Chinese company Aerofugia, AE200 took part in a series of flights in Chengdu in China’s Sichuan Province...The flying car has eight rotors that are positioned vertically during the craf's ascent. Once the eVTOL hits the right altitude, four of the rotors tilt - effectively working as propellers.

"The five-seater AE200 has a cruising speed of around 248kph and a maximum range of 200km. It will operate at about 300 meter above urban areas."
