Autonomous passenger eVTOL (electric aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing capability).
GOVY AirJet
Technical Specifications of GOVY AirJet
- PurposeDesigned as an air mobility solution for urban and intercity transport.
- TypeAutonomous passenger eVTOL.
- Capacity3–4 passengers.
- Max Speed250 km/h.
- Takeoff AltitudeUp to 2.3 m.
- Flight RangeUp to 200 km on a single charge (expected to increase to 400 km with solid-state batteries).
- Engine Power100 kW (136 hp).
- Charging TimeAbout 30 minutes with current batteries.
- Design & MaterialsOver 90% of the body is made of carbon-fiber composites.
- Propulsion SystemEight-axis system with eight propellers, two engines, and a power redistribution system. No exposed rotating or moving parts, which increases safety.
- Autonomy LevelCapable of operating at L4 autonomy — a high level of automation.
- Safety SystemDistributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) ensures stability. In case of engine failure, the system automatically redistributes power. Triple redundancy is built into the flight control and battery systems. In emergencies, the aircraft can autonomously land at the nearest safe location.
Comfort & Interior
Cabin: 1+1+X layout, 3–4 passengers, flexible transformable rear zone. Features “Pixel Galaxy” roof lighting, adaptive comfort system with wireless charging, touchscreens, lights, and speakers. The rear space can transform into a comfortable sofa or a double seat.

Flight Tests & Roadmap
First Flight: Successfully completed on July 3, 2025.
Certification & Production: Certification of airworthiness expected in 2025–26, followed by production and pre-orders.
Commercial Operation: Demonstration flights scheduled for 2027 in 2–3 cities of the Greater Bay Area (Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao).
Press release GAC
On December 18, GAC Group announced the creation of a new flying vehicle brand GOVY and presented its first composite-wing aircraft, the GOVY AirJet, at a brand launch event. This marks GAC’s official entry into the low-altitude mobility market and strengthens its position as a leader in integrated air mobility systems.
The mission of GOVY is to design, manufacture, sell, and service flying vehicles and related ecosystem products. The brand combines GAC’s vast experience in automotive engineering with its proprietary technologies and forward-looking operational capabilities to deliver comprehensive solutions that redefine urban and intercity mobility.
Innovation at the Core
The GOVY AirJet, with its composite wing, combines the aerodynamic efficiency of airplanes with the flexibility of vertical take-off and landing systems. Its lightweight structure is 90% carbon-fiber composite, ensuring both durability and manufacturability. Thanks to its patented high-efficiency electric propulsion system, the AirJet can reach speeds of up to 250 km/h, fly distances of over 200 km, and recharge in just 30 minutes. Future models are expected to achieve up to 400 km on a single charge with solid-state batteries.
The AirJet also offers a premium passenger experience, with a "1+1+X" cabin layout, seamless autonomous operation, and a “Pixel Galaxy” lighting system on the ceiling that immerses travellers in a space-like atmosphere. Advanced safety features including redundant power and control systems, real-time monitoring, and obstacle detection ensure secure and comfortable flights.

Robo-AirTaxi Ecosystem
GAC has also presented plans for the Robo-AirTaxi system, which integrates ground and air transportation to deliver comprehensive smart mobility solutions. For short-range trips within 20 km, the GOVY AirCar multi-rotor vehicle will be used, while for mid-range trips up to 200 km, the GOVY AirJet will serve as the key solution. The vision is to create a “40-minute living circle” in urban clusters such as the San Francisco Bay Area, enabling seamless intercity connections and reducing both travel time and costs.
By 2025, GAC aims to obtain airworthiness certification for its flying vehicles, launch production, and begin pre-sales, accelerating the commercialization of low-altitude mobility. The GOVY brand embodies GAC’s commitment to innovation and smart transportation, pushing the boundaries of urban mobility and offering sustainable, intelligent, and efficient travel solutions.
Commercial demonstration flights are planned for 2027 in 2–3 cities across the Greater Bay Area (Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao). With this, GAC is set to transform urban mobility with pioneering technology, paving the way for a safer, greener, and smarter future of transportation.
