Hong Kong to test first flying cars carrying heavy cargo within 6 months

Hong Kong is set to conduct trial flights for its first two-tonne electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft within six months. These initial flights will focus on transporting heavy construction materials to remote locations in the New Territories. Infrastructure consultancy AECOM stated that after proving aviation safety for cargo logistics, the next potential application is ecotourism, offering sustainable aerial sightseeing tours of Victoria Harbour. This trial is part of a recently established regulatory sandbox designed to promote the city's low-altitude economy.
