Recently, the four-seat electric aircraft RX4E independently developed by Liaoning General Aviation Academy of Shenyang Aerospace University received a type certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), becoming the first normal electric aircraft to obtain type approval in China. This marks that China has made significant breakthroughs in new energy electric aircraft technologies.

The RX4E features a wingspan of 13.5 meters and a length of 8.4 meters, with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,260 kilograms. It is powered by a lithium battery with a total capacity of 70 kWh and has an electric propulsion system capable of reaching a maximum output of 140 kW.The RX4E can achieve a maximum flight time of 1.5 hours, boasting advantages such as zero emissions, low noise, reduced operational costs, and high safety and reliability.

The RX4E is expected to find diverse applications in domains such as pilot training, sightseeing flights, experiential flying, aerial photography and aviation surveying.Plans are also underway to develop variants for water, ice and snow, hydrogen propulsion and other special-purpose models to expand its range of use and enhance market competitiveness.

Thumbs up for this "made in Shenyang"!
