Aerofugia has begun production of its AE200‑100 six‑seat eVTOL prototype and completed final assembly and avionics installation on the first airframe at its China production facility this week. The milestone brings the aircraft closer to crewed flight testing and an eventual commercial rollout.

Briefing
The AE200‑100 moving from prototype build to production — with final assembly and avionics fit complete on the first airframe — signals a transition toward industrialisation for a six‑seat eVTOL platform, an important manufacturing milestone comparable to other recent final‑assembly efforts (https://hype.aero/?story=aa1c106c-88e1-426c-b200-0986ae9fd464).
Completion of assembly and avionics positions Aerofugia to commence crewed flight testing and progress toward commercial rollout; this comes as regulators have begun issuing experimental approvals for eVTOL flight testing, exemplified by the FAA's Experimental Airworthiness Certificate for an eVTOL prototype (https://hype.aero/?story=3d50e97b-65c3-4554-a44e-6056a3c05faa).
