China begins trial production of flying cars
The world’s first factory for mass-producing flying vehicles launches test manufacturing
China has begun trial production at the world’s first factory dedicated to the large-scale manufacture of flying cars with vertical take-off and landing capabilities, according to CGTN, a partner of TV BRICS.
The facility has an annual production capacity of up to 10,000 flying modules, with an initial output of around 5,000 units. The first detachable flight module has already been completed and will be used for test flights in the coming months.
Once fully operational, the factory will be able to assemble one flying vehicle every 30 minutes. The design consists of two main components: a six-wheeled ground vehicle serving as the “mother ship”, and a detachable electric aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing.
The project aims to develop a new generation of transport that combines road and air mobility. More than 5,000 pre-orders have already been received, with mass production and deliveries expected to begin in 2026.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -

So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
