SHANGHAI, May 26 - LeviationX, a pioneer in domestic electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft research and manufacturing, and HRC, a world-leading provider of comprehensive composite material solutions, officially signed a procurement contract for the SAF200 program. The partnership centers on LeviationX's new large-tonnage low-altitude manned eVTOL aircraft, with both companies jointly developing an aerial mobility solution that integrates safety, reliability, green economics, and an unparalleled travel experience.

The low-altitude economy, a key driver of new quality productive forces, has been featured in China's Government Work Report for three consecutive years and was explicitly designated as an "emerging pillar industry" in 2026. The successful signing between LeviationX and HRC not only sets a benchmark for upstream-downstream collaboration within the Yangtze River Delta's low-altitude manufacturing sector but also significantly accelerates the development and deployment of manned eVTOL technologies for diverse scenarios, including intercity commuting, low-altitude tourism, and emergency response. This collaboration injects critical momentum into the Delta's vision of building a world-class low-altitude economic hub.

As pioneering forces along the low-altitude industrial chain, both LeviationX and HRC have demonstrated rare, comprehensive strengths and a sustained trajectory of breakthrough growth in their respective fields.

Under the SAF200 program, HRC will fully leverage its leading technical capabilities and extensive, proven experience across multiple aircraft models and projects in the low-altitude manned aircraft domain. As a core structural manufacturing supplier, HRC will undertake the development and production of key airframe structural components. Building on this foundation, the two parties will continue to deepen their reciprocal empowerment, collaboratively drive technological iteration and scenario-specific adaptation, and accelerate the commercialization of domestically produced eVTOL aircraft.
