China leads in flying car development with rapid production and commercial air taxi approval, backed by strong government and supply chain support.

Chinese companies are rapidly advancing flying car development by merging electric vehicle and drone technologies. Factories like Aridge in Guangzhou produce one vehicle every 30 minutes using modular designs. Supported by government initiatives for the “low-altitude economy,” China leads globally, with EHang receiving full commercial approval for air taxi operations. While international competitors face regulatory and financial hurdles, China’s efficient supply chains and engineering talent accelerate progress. Analysts project a $41 billion market by 2040, though widespread adoption depends on airspace management, public acceptance, and sustainable business models.
