A demonstration of the uniquely shaped electric aircraft was held at the Shenzhen Nanshan Low-altitude Economy Investment Promotion and Industry Development Forum in China on June 3. 

The eVTOL, which can take off and land on water, was built after more than three years of research and development and features a six-hole duct and 12-blade electric motor. The aircraft has a redundancy design in its electric propulsion and flight control system.
