It is reported that the factory is planned to have an annual production capacity of 10,000 units, with an initial capacity of 5,000 units per year, making it the world’s first flying car manufacturing plant capable of producing at the 'ten-thousand-unit' level annually.

This will not only inject financial momentum into its subsequent R&D and capacity expansion but could also accelerate the capitalization process across the entire low-altitude economy sector.
