Capital Convergence: Embarking on a New Low-Altitude Era | Investment Community Visits Sofo for Exchange to Explore New Opportunities in General Aviation Industry
Time:2026-04-13

Amidst springtime warmth and picturesque scenery, we jointly usher in a new chapter. Recently, investment professionals visited Suofu for an exchange session, discussing the trends in low-altitude economy development and exploring new investment opportunities in the general aviation industry. Core team members including Yi Jiachi, Huang Xianda, Wu Tengfei, and Zhu Junjian provided comprehensive reception throughout the event, offering professional insights into corporate development while fostering collaborative partnerships with an open-minded approach.

The exchange commenced at Anji Tianzihu Airport—a testing ground that embodies Suofu Aviation's aspirations and serves as a key facility for evaluating and demonstrating the SF20V vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. The reception team guided investors to closely observe the SF20V, a light sport-class hybrid aircraft independently developed by Suofu, showcasing its cutting-edge capabilities in full detail.

At the event, Chief Technology Officer Wu Tengfei elaborated on the core advantages and application scenarios of the SF20V: As China's first lightweight sport-class manned hybrid vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, it features an innovative hybrid fuel-electric system paired with a composite wing configuration. This design seamlessly combines the agility of multi-rotor eVTOL with the endurance efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft, effectively addressing industry pain points such as limited range of pure electric eVTOL systems and traditional aircraft's reliance on runways. Capable of reaching speeds between 100-150 km/h, the SF20V offers up to 6 hours of maximum flight duration, a takeoff weight of 180 kg, and Class 6 wind resistance ratings, delivering significant advantages in safety, endurance, and operational costs. Its versatile applications—from high-end business travel and pilot training to emergency rescue missions and critical cargo transportation—demonstrated the vast market potential of the low-altitude economy to attendees from the investment community.

Following the observation session, both parties proceeded to the conference room for an in-depth discussion. Mr.Yi Jiachi, Chairman of Sofo, serving as the key representative, delivered a comprehensive presentation to investors covering the company's development history, core technological expertise, product portfolio planning, and future strategic roadmap. He emphasized that since entering the general aviation sector, Sofo has consistently prioritized technological innovation. After six years of intensive R&D efforts, the company has overcome critical technical challenges including composite wing configurations and oil-electric hybrid system integration, successfully launching its flagship SF20V model. The company is now steadily advancing airworthiness certification and mass production preparations while actively pursuing angel funding rounds to accelerate market deployment of its products.

Meanwhile, Mr.Yi Jiachi also shared Suofu's future strategy: the company will continue to focus on the research and development of intelligent aircraft, advance the development of serialized models such as the six-seat SF60V and the hydrogen-powered high-speed aircraft SF50X, build a comprehensive low-altitude navigation service platform, and strive to seize the opportunities in the trillion-dollar low-altitude aviation market. It is committed to becoming a leading enterprise in the low-altitude economy sector and providing "China hybrid solutions" for industry development.

During the discussion session, investment professionals engaged in active listening and posed insightful questions, conducting in-depth exchanges with Safran's reception team on key topics including SF20V's technological barriers, airworthiness certification progress, commercialization pathways, and industry trends. The investors unanimously praised Safran's technological breakthroughs, product capabilities, and strategic development plans in vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft technology. They emphasized that the low-altitude economy, as a national strategic emerging industry, holds tremendous growth potential. With its robust technical expertise, well-defined product portfolio, and clear development roadmap, Safran demonstrates exceptional investment value and collaboration opportunities.

The visit and exchange by investment partners not only recognize Safran's development achievements but also present a pivotal opportunity for deeper mutual understanding and collaborative exploration. Adhering to the principles of open cooperation, Safran has been committed to advancing general aviation solutions through technological innovation, consistently delivering competitive products and integrated solutions. Looking ahead, we look forward to partnering with investors to pool capital resources, jointly cultivate a thriving low-altitude economy ecosystem, and embark on a new journey of high-quality development in the general aviation industry.
