Recently, the full-scale prototype of the 7-seater eVTOL Vector 5, developed by Victor Aerospace Technology (Xi'an) Co., Ltd., was officially unveiled in Xi'an. This aircraft is the world's first 3-ton-class full-scale eVTOL prototype and the first of its kind in Northwest China, as well as the second eVTOL complete aircraft model to roll off the production line in Western China.
As a significant attempt in China's independently developed manned eVTOL sector, the Vector 5 opens new possibilities for accelerating the development of urban air mobility (UAM) and emergency rescue applications. At the launch event, GRGTEST and Victor Aerospace Technology (Xi'an) Co., Ltd. entered into a strategic partnership, agreeing to deepen collaboration and technical exchanges in areas such as eVTOL testing, inspection, and airworthiness certification for complete aircraft and key systems.
The Vector 5 features a 7-seat, all-electric design with a 200 km range, making it suitable for diverse applications such as airport shuttles, intercity commuting, low-altitude tourism, emergency rescue, and medical evacuation. As the world's first eVTOL model specifically designed for medical and emergency rescue missions, the Vector 5 will help accelerate the development of urban 3D transportation networks and emergency service networks, advancing the "civil aviation + eVTOL" concept from vision to reality and becoming a key component of future low-altitude mobility solutions.
As a pioneer and leader in aviation and low-altitude aircraft quality & reliability solutions, GRGTEST was invited to the launch ceremony and signed the strategic cooperation agreement with Victor Aerospace Technology (Xi'an) Co., Ltd. The two parties will leverage their respective strengths and resources to drive comprehensive collaboration in testing, inspection, and airworthiness certification for ton-class eVTOLs and UAVs, as well as conduct joint research on airworthiness compliance verification methods for eVTOLs. Together, they will explore key areas such as low-altitude economy technology breakthroughs, application scenario expansion, and industrial ecosystem development, contributing to the standardized and regulated growth of the low-altitude economy industry.
