EHang's EH-216-S passenger eVTOL has conducted its . The unmanned aircraft flew passengers around the scenic Jiulong Lake in the Huangpu district of Guangzhou. So far, EH-216-S has completed more than 42,000 safe flights. Guangzhou will soon open its first tourism route for unmanned aircraft, with more than a dozen stops along the way.

Some year end images of the four AG600 airframes currently undergoing flight testing.

Some civil aviation news. The AG100 trainer has from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, officially marking the end of the aircraft's development and the beginning of its mass production.

It is customary to close the year with pictures, recaps, and predictions. Here are a few from Aviation Week. I haven't seen these posted. See if you agree with their numbers and projections.

Record deliveries but no numbers given:

The AG60E electric aircraft has . The aircraft is the electrified variant of the AVIC AG60.

AVIC Aircraft Strength Research Institute has recently completed principle verification of a full-lattice distributed deformation wing that was built using . The wing achieved distributed active torsional deformation control of full lattice deformation.

1月3日，航空工业强度所成功完成了基于力学超材料的全点阵分布式变形机翼结构的原理验证，实现了全点阵变形翼面分布式主动扭转变形控制，突破了力学超材料性能表征与胞元构型设计、点阵结构可逆装配、多点变形感知与协同控制等关键核心技术，可为未来跨域变体飞行器设计提供支撑...
