With this latest round, Aeroht's cumulative equity financing has reached approximately $1 billion, making it the most-funded company in Asia's manned low-altitude flight sector.
A key player in the low-altitude economy, Aeroht is advancing smoothly across its operations, having pioneered its production capacity. The company has built the world's first mass-production factory utilizing modern assembly lines for aircraft manufacturing. Construction wrapped up in September 2025, with trial production already underway. By introducing automotive assembly line techniques to aviation, the facility ensures robust resource support for the high-quality, large-scale deliveries of Aeroht's flagship "Land Aircraft Carrier" and future aircraft series.
On March 5 of this year, the "Land Aircraft Carrier" rolled off the production line in a batch trial run at Aeroht's flying car factory, coinciding with multi-aircraft test flights. Simultaneously, the Guangzhou Haixinsha All-Space Intelligent Experience Center (Haixinsha Tech Island)—a joint venture between Aeroht, Guangzhou City Investment Group, and the Electronic Fifth Institute of the MIIT under a "1+1+N" model—launched joint explorations into low-altitude flight scenarios. This initiative bridges the gap from the "assembly line" to "real-world flight," officially inaugurating the "Guangzhou model" for the low-altitude economy. Five units of the "Land Aircraft Carrier" were produced and tested, validating Aeroht's scalable manufacturing capabilities and marking a shift from the R&D verification phase to preparations for commercial mass production.
