The world's first electric passenger aircraft to gain an airworthiness certificate has been produced by China.
The BX1E has a 14.5 meter wingspan and a maximum payload of 230 kg. It can fly at an altitude of 3,000 meters.

The aircraft can be used in pilot training, tourism, meteorology and rescue operations. Each sells for about one million yuan (US$163,000).
The number of orders has reached 28.
