On November 13, during the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, Aerofugia and Dassault Systèmes, the global leader in 3DEXPERIENCE solutions, once again joined hands to sign a strategic cooperation memorandum, opening a new chapter of cooperation.

At the scene, Gu Wenting, Vice President of Geely Technology Group and Chairman of Aerofugia, Guo Liang, CEO and Chief Scientist of Aerofugia, Liu Mingming, Digital Director of Aerofugia, Zhang Liangyi, Senior Technical Expert of Aerofugia, Cheng Shuguang, Vice President of Sales in Greater China of Dassault Systèmes, and Zhan Ji, Senior Technical Director of Dassault Systèmes in Greater China Yan Zhaofa, General Manager of Shanghai Titanium Software Technology Co., Ltd., and Dou Pengfei, Major Account Manager of Dassault Systèmes Greater China, attended and witnessed the signing ceremony. Tu Qiang, CPO of Aerofugia, and Wei Yuanlong, Senior Sales Director of Dassault Systèmes Greater China, signed cooperation on behalf of the two sides.

In the future, the two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in eVTOL digital virtual R&D and manufacturing based on their respective industrial resources and technical advantages, and jointly build the world's leading eVTOL virtual R&D manufacturing process to support eVTOL's digital R&D manufacturing system, improve the overall R&D efficiency, and meet the growing market demand.

At the same time, the two sides will also carry out extensive cooperation in talent training, technical exchange and market development to reserve strength for the development of the industry and promote the innovative development of the eVTOL industry and the improvement of global competitiveness.

Guo Liang, CEO and Chief Scientist of Aerofugia:

"Aerofugia is a technology company with low-altitude travel business as the core. Since its establishment, it has continuously innovated around eVTOL product research and development, production, operation and maintenance, and service technology. We are honored to join hands with Dassault Systèmes. On the basis of friendly cooperation in the past, we will move towards deeper cooperation, accelerate the improvement of the level of eVTOL research and development and manufacturing, and inject new vitality into the booming development of the low-altitude economy. We also look forward to bringing more possibilities to future low-altitude travel through the joint efforts of both sides."

Cheng Shuguang, Vice President of Sales in Greater China of Dassault Systèmes:

"As a world-class 3DEXPERIENCE solution supplier, Dassault Systèmes joins hands with Aerofugia to create advanced eVTOL products. It is believed that on the basis of previous cooperation, through this more in-depth strategic cooperation, the two sides will take their product research and development capabilities to a higher level. I also wish that Aerofugia will have a future like the sun and the sky, and the routes will spread all over the world, becoming the first choice in the hearts of passengers and leading the way."

It is worth mentioning that in May 2023, Aerofugia signed a contract with Dassault Systèmes for the first time, becoming the first eVTOL enterprise in China to reach strategic cooperation with Dassault Systèmes. Based on the digital capabilities of the Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the two sides cooperate to build an end-to-end integrated product full-life cycle development platform to serve the research and development of innovative products such as eVTOL.

At this China Airshow, the two sides will continue to work together. On the basis of the previous joint cooperation platform, they will continue to cooperate in depth. Through multi-faceted collaborative construction, they will help improve the level of eVTOL research and development and manufacturing and promote the development of the industry.

- Evaluate the performance indicators of the aircraft through virtual simulation, and provide a whole machine performance verification environment for system-level, pneumatic shape, structural strength, fluid, electromagnetic compatibility and other simulation verification;

- Use digital means to simulate the manufacturing process, find and solve manufacturing problems in advance, and improve production efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness.

As a leader in providing 3DEXPERIENCE solutions for global customers, Dassault Systèmes provides a virtual world for sustainable innovation for enterprises and people. Dassault's world-leading 3D design software, 3D digital entity model and product life cycle management (PLM) solutions have opened up a new path for product design, production and support. Dassault Systèmes Collaborative Solutions promote social innovation and expand the possibility of the virtual world improving the real world.

Through this cooperation, Aerofugia will further integrate the advanced technologies and solutions of Dassault Systèmes on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, accelerate the research and development process of its AE200 aircraft, improve the efficiency and quality of product design and manufacturing, and inject new momentum into the innovative development of the eVTOL industry. Power, and jointly promote the high-quality development and industrial upgrading of the low-altitude economy.
