✈️⚡ First crewed flight of an electric aircraft with 10 propellers…
On November 14, 2026, China marked a new turning point in aviation: the CE-25A electric aircraft successfully completed its first crewed test flight in Binzhou, Shandong Province.
And the best part? It’s not just an electric aircraft… it completely reimagines the concept of propulsion!
🔟 10 electric propellers distributed across the wings (5 on each wing)
👥 Seats 19 passengers
⚡ Top speed of 300 km/h
🛫 Range of up to 400 kilometers
🏔️ Maximum altitude of 2,400 meters
But the real secret lies in Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) technology:
Instead of relying on two large engines, thrust is distributed across small, independent units. What if one of them fails? The aircraft doesn’t go down! Its design provides greater safety and flexibility while improving aerodynamic efficiency.
What’s remarkable is that the aircraft had already completed 19 successful autonomous flights before its crewed flight… as if it had practiced flying solo first! 🤖✈️
The aircraft was developed by COMAC in collaboration with CATL and Jiaotong University—a significant step toward greener, smarter aviation.
