GAC Group has launched its new flying car brand, GOVY, and debuted its first composite-wing flying car, GOVY AirJet, at the launch and product unveiling event – marking the company’s entry into low-altitude mobility.
GOVY AirJet, a composite-wing flying car, combines the advantages of fixed-wing efficiency and the vertical takeoff flexibility of multi-rotor systems. Designed with over 90% carbon fiber composite materials, its lightweight structure ensures durability and high performance.
Powered by GAC’s proprietary high-efficiency electric drive system, the AirJet achieves a top speed of 250 km/h and a range of over 200km, with rapid recharging in just 30 minutes. Future models may extend ranges to 400km with solid-state battery technology.
The AirJet boasts a luxury cabin with a 1+1+X seating layout, seamless autonomous flight operations, and a PIXEL GALAXY starlight roof that immerses passengers in a cosmic travel experience. Advanced safety features, such as redundant power and control systems, real-time monitoring, and obstacle detection, ensure a secure journey.
GAC also revealed plans for its Robo-AirTaxi system, integrating ground and aerial transport to offer end-to-end smart mobility solutions. Short-distance urban commutes within 20km will utilize multi-rotor GOVY AirCar, while mid-range travel up to 200km will rely on the AirJet. The system aims to create a “40-minute Greater Bay Area life circle” enabling seamless intercity connections and reducing transit times and costs.
By 2025, GAC aims to achieve airworthiness certification for its flying cars, establish production lines, and begin pre-orders, advancing the commercialization of low-altitude mobility. The company also has plans for demonstration operations in 2-3 Greater Bay Area cities by 2027.
