The information provided here is as accurate as possible; however, eVTOL information from China is sometimes sparse, incomplete or conflicting. China is promoting what they call the "low-altitude economy"—a new push for general aviation—which includes both crewed and uncrewed passenger and air cargo eVTOL aircraft.

Founded in 2022, CoolFly is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China and is in the business of designing and manufacturing passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM). Wayne Lee, CEO is quoted on the company's website, “We are not just manufacturing aircraft, we are architecting a new way of life. We aim to make personal eVTOL as ubiquitous as bicycles—affordable and accessible to everyone in the world.”

Urban 2 passenger eVTOL personal flying device multicopter (concept design)
The Urban 2 is a one passenger eVTOL concept design personal flying device. The pilot has the option of flying the aircraft manually or use an AI autonomous pilot. The pilot stands in an open cockpit with a front glass cockpit flight stand. The flight stand has handle bars for the pilot to hold on to. There is no rear back support for the pilot. The pilot wears a special air bag flight suit in case of an inflight emergency.

The estimated cruise speed of the aircraft is 48 km/h (30 mph) and has an expected flight time of 10 minutes. The aircraft has four propellers, four electric motors and is powered by battery packs. The approximate maximum payload weight is 80 kg (176 lb). The fuselage is made from carbon fiber composite to give the aircraft a high strength to low weight ratio. The multicopter lands on four landing struts.

Aircraft use
The company foresees the aircraft to be used for advanced air mobility (AAM), tourism, vacationing, outdoor activities (such fishing, hunting, boating, camping and other types of recreational activities) and for emergency medical response.

Specifications:

• Aircraft type: Passenger eVTOL personal flying device multicopter (concept design)
• Piloting: 1 pilot. The pilot can fly the personal flying device manually or us an AI autonomous pilot. The pilot stands in an open cockpit with a front glass cockpit flight stand. The flight stand has handle bars for the pilot to hold on to. There is no rear back support for the pilot. The pilot wears a special air bag flight suit in case of an inflight emergency.
• Cruise speed: ~48 km/h (30 mph)
• Flight time: 10 minutes
• Maximum payload weight: ~80 kg (176 lb)
• Propellers: 4 propellers (the propellers are inside a protective mesh located on the top and bottom of an almost rectangular propeller housing)
• Electric motors: 4 electric motors
• Power source: Battery packs
• Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
• Cockpit: Open cockpit, pilot stands with a back brace
• Landing gear: 4 landing struts
• Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) uses multiple propellers or electric ducted fans, each powered by electric motors, to increase safety through redundancy. If one or more components fail, the remaining ones can still ensure a safe landing. There are also redundancies of critical components in the sub-systems of the aircraft providing safety through redundancy. Having multiple redundant systems on any aircraft decreases having any single point of failure. The pilot wears a special air bag flight suit in case of an inflight emergency.
