China will establish a new department tasked with overseeing the development of the country’s emerging low-altitude aviation sector and playboy tv porninitiate pilot programs for passenger transport using electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) in six domestic cities, including Shenzhen, Caixin reported. The so-called low-altitude economy department will be created under the National Development and Reform Commission, China’s top economic planner, to act as a liaison coordinating with other government bodies, including the Chinese Air Force, according to Chen Zhijie, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
