China's GAC Group, one of the country's largest state-owned automakers, has introduced the Govy AirCab, a two-seater flying car designed to transform urban travel. While GAC might not be a household name in the United States, it's a major player in China's automotive industry, producing a wide range of vehicles and partnering with global brands like Toyota and Honda.
The Govy AirCab, unveiled at the 2025 Hong Kong International Auto and Supply Chain Expo, is an electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle, or eVTOL, now open for pre-orders. GAC is targeting the "low-altitude economy," which includes air taxis and short-range personal flights within busy city environments.
The Govy AirCab stands out for its innovative use of carbon fiber, which keeps the vehicle lightweight and efficient. Its design features gull-wing doors and a top-mounted rotor, combining futuristic style with practical function. Thanks to advanced battery technology, the AirCab can fully recharge in just 25 minutes, or reach 50 percent charge in only 15 minutes. This quick turnaround is perfect for busy urban environments where time is valuable.
