A two-seater electric aircraft completed its maiden flight on Monday at the Badaling Airport near the Great Wall, in northwest Beijing's Yanqing District.
The electric aircraft, RX1E-A, can be used to carry out general aviation flights and pilot training, and is available to the public for flight experiences, according to Wang Mingyang, an expert in general aviation innovation research with the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology.
"Launching general aviation operation flight activities in Yanqing not only brings aviation equipment, but also gives a boost to low-altitude economic operation activities," said Wang.
