在上海，刚刚闭幕的2026年中国家电及消费电子博览会上，御风未来的M1“空中出租车”一亮相就引发围观——从上海东方枢纽到苏州金鸡湖，原本地面要开一个多小时的路程，它只需15分钟，票价就和普通出租车差不多。
In Shanghai, the recently concluded 2026 China Home Appliance and Consumer Electronics Expo drew crowds around Yufeng Future’s M1 “air taxi”. Covering the route from Shanghai’s Eastern Hub to Suzhou’s Jinji Lake—a journey that would take over an hour by car—it now takes just 15 minutes. The ticket price? About the same as a regular taxi ride.
在湖北，今年2月的“新春第一会”现场，4款“湖北造”eVTOL(电动垂直起降飞行器)首次组团亮相，让人们对“打飞的”出行的想象有了具体的形状。
In Hubei, at the “First Spring Gathering” in February, four locally made eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles) debuted together for the first time, giving people a concrete glimpse of what flying commutes could look like.
“空中出租车”正以前所未有的速度从科幻电影驶入现实。
Air taxis are moving from the realm of science fiction to reality faster than ever.
什么是“空中出租车”？
What is an “Air Taxi”？
它有一个专业名字——eVTOL，即电动垂直起降飞行器。简单来说，就是一辆“长了翅膀的电动车”。它像直升机一样不需要跑道就能垂直起降，但靠电力驱动，噪音更低、更环保。你可以在小区楼顶、停车场、甚至公园空地起降，就像今天叫网约车一样，掏出手机下单，一架“飞的”就能准时出现在你面前。
The technical term is eVTOL—electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. Simply put, it’s like an electric car with wings. Like a helicopter, it can take off and land vertically without a runway, but it’s electrically powered, quieter, and more environmentally friendly. You could take off from a rooftop, parking lot, or even an open park space. Ordering one could be as simple as hailing a ride through an app—your flying vehicle arrives on schedule.
目前，中国多家企业已推出原型机并完成试飞。比如上海的一家科技公司，其“盛世龙”型号在2024年完成了深圳至珠海的跨海跨城演示飞行，将原本2.5至3小时的地面车程缩短至20分钟。在湖北，武汉经开区正加快布局低空经济产业链，从飞行器研发制造到数字化空管系统，一个完整的“空中出行”生态正在形成。
Several Chinese companies have already produced prototypes and completed test flights. For instance, a Shanghai tech company’s “Shengshi Long” model completed a cross-sea, cross-city demonstration flight from Shenzhen to Zhuhai in 2024, reducing a 2.5–3 hour car journey to just 20 minutes. In Hubei, Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone is accelerating the low-altitude economy, building an ecosystem that spans eVTOL development, manufacturing, and digital air traffic management.
它能做什么？
What Can It Do?
“空中出租车”的应用场景远不止城市通勤。
The applications of air taxis go far beyond urban commuting.
突发心肌梗死的老人，地面救护车被堵在路上时，“空中ICU”可在15分钟内将病人送进手术室。湖北武汉福生通航研发的纯电“空中ICU”，救援成本从传统直升机的近万元降至3000元以内。
For instance, when an elderly patient suffers a sudden heart attack and a ground ambulance is stuck in traffic, a “flying ICU” can get them to surgery within 15 minutes. Wuhan Fushengtong Aviation’s fully electric flying ICU cuts rescue costs from nearly 10,000 yuan with a traditional helicopter to under 3,000 yuan.
游客可以像打网约车一样预约“空中出租车”，从空中俯瞰城市地标或自然风光。
Tourists could book air taxis like regular ride-hailing services, enjoying aerial views of city landmarks or natural scenery.
在交通不便的海岛、山区，eVTOL可用于紧急物资配送，突破地面交通的限制。
In remote islands or mountainous regions, eVTOLs can deliver urgent supplies, bypassing road limitations.
从城市通勤到医疗救援，从文旅观光到物流运输，“空中出租车”正在重新定义我们与距离的关系。
From urban commuting to medical rescue, from tourism to logistics, air taxis are redefining our relationship with distance.
为何是“出租车”模式？
Why a “Taxi” Model?
与私家飞行器不同，“空中出租车”更强调共享与按需服务。就像我们今天使用网约车一样，未来人们可以通过手机App预约飞行器，由统一的调度平台规划航线、安排起降。这种模式既能降低个人拥有成本，又能提高空域利用率，让更多人享受空中出行的便利。
Unlike private aircraft, air taxis emphasize shared, on-demand service. Like today’s ride-hailing apps, people can book flights via a mobile app, while a centralized platform plans routes and manages takeoffs and landings. This model lowers personal ownership costs, increases airspace efficiency, and makes aerial travel accessible to more people.
当然，要让“空中出租车”真正融入日常生活，还需解决空域管理、安全认证、起降设施、噪音控制等一系列问题。中国民航局已在多地开展无人驾驶航空器试验区建设，上海、湖北等地也陆续出台低空经济发展规划，为商业化运营铺路。
Of course, integrating air taxis into daily life requires solving challenges in airspace management, safety certification, landing infrastructure, and noise control. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has launched drone test zones in multiple regions, and Shanghai, Hubei, and other areas are rolling out low-altitude economy plans to pave the way for commercial operations.
从上海到湖北，低空经济加速起飞
From Shanghai to Hubei: The Low-Altitude Economy Takes Off
上海是eVTOL研发与试飞的前沿阵地。2024年，上海峰飞航空科技获得全球首张吨级以上eVTOL型号合格证，标志着中国在该领域已进入全球第一方阵。而在湖北，武汉经开区将低空经济列为重点发展方向，吸引多家头部企业落户，计划打造覆盖研发、制造、运营、服务的完整产业链。从长三角到中部，一幅“天空之城”的蓝图正徐徐展开。
Shanghai is at the forefront of eVTOL development and testing. In 2024, Shanghai Fengfei Aviation Technology received the world’s first type certificate for an eVTOL above one ton, marking China’s entry into the global front ranks in this field. Meanwhile, in Hubei, the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone has prioritized the low-altitude economy, attracting leading companies and planning a complete industrial chain covering R&D, manufacturing, operations, and services. From the Yangtze River Delta to central China, a blueprint for a “city in the sky” is gradually taking shape.
