The full-scale prototype of the intelligent new energy aircraft ET480 of COMAC Beijing Civil Aircraft Technology Research Center rolled off the assembly line recently.
ET480 is a flight verification machine jointly developed by COMAC North Research Center, United Nations Household Appliances Investment and Hydrogen Energy Company, and is mainly oriented to the application field of future urban three-dimensional transportation. The demonstrator innovatively uses a composite wing configuration, which can cruise long distances and has the flexibility of vertical take-off and landing.
It is worth mentioning that the core components of the fuel cell used in the smart new energy aircraft rolled off the assembly line rely on the State Power Investment Corporation Hydrogen Energy Corporation to achieve independent intellectual property rights, and have reached the leading domestic performance in terms of performance. The structural application of carbon fiber composite Materials account for more than 90%. In terms of intelligence, the aircraft has explored 5G-based intelligent unmanned driving technology, and strives to build a future new energy cross-border innovation platform, new technology verification platform and industrialization demonstration platform.
