GAC presents the Govy AirJet eVTOL: the future of air transport

GAC has launched a new eVTOL brand called Govy, unveiling its second flying car, the Govy AirJet. Certification and the start of sales are expected in 2025.

A New Step in the Development of Air Transportation

On December 18, GAC announced its new brand, Govy, which specializes in the development of eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft). The brand is focused on creating robotaxis for short- and medium-distance travel in China. The first product under this brand is the Govy AirJet, which is the company’s second flying car following the GOVE model.

Key Features of the Govy AirJet
