Geely with Volocopter to bring flying car in China by 2024

Chinese automaker Geely Holding prepares to bring flying car which will be developed by its aviation branch Wofei Changkong Technology with German air taxi developer Volocopter in China in about three years according to Wofei Changkong Technology CEO Jing Chao.

After Volocopter receiving an airworthiness certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency, it will would be easier for the company to be awarded the same certificate from Chinese officials under bilateral agreements on civil aviation, Jing told local media agency thepaper.cn.

“Hence, we’re confident that flying cars will emerge in China in around 2024,” Jing said.

He said that the research and development (R&D) of the flying car had been basically finished, and has started to apply for certifications while there have been couriers in contact with the company for working together in future operation.

“The clients of flying cars will not only be businessmen but also could be used in wedding ceremonies, tourism, and other special event and will become a common transport tool,” Jing said, said on market demand.

He said those flying car products will be operated in China by the joint venture to be started by Wofei Changkong Technology and Volocopter.
