Changan Unveils Electric Jetpack Prototype at MWC Shanghai 2025
Changan has officially revealed its first working prototype of an electric-powered jetpack at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2025, marking a bold step forward in the future of personal aerial mobility.
A Glimpse into the Future of Transport
The innovative jetpack was showcased as part of Changan’s broader technological showcase, highlighting the company’s commitment to advanced mobility solutions.

Cutting-Edge Design and Capabilities
Changan’s electric jetpack features a triple-turbine electric engine, offering vertical lift for up to 30 minutes and can reach altitudes of up to 1,000 feet. Designed with both safety and maneuverability in mind, it incorporates a central harness system, dual-propeller arms, and joystick-style controls for precise navigation.
Images from the event show a sleek, compact frame, suggesting it’s built for personal transport. However, details such as payload capacity and regulatory approvals have not yet been disclosed.
Investing in the Sky: Changan’s Vision
The unveiling of the jetpack is part of Changan’s growing focus on low-altitude aerial mobility. This journey began with a strategic partnership signed with eVTOL in December 2024. At that time, Chairman Zhu Huarong announced a $2.7 billion investment into the aerial transport sector over five years.
Looking ahead, Changan aims to boost that figure to over $13.9 billion by 2035, expanding into land, sea, air, and robotic mobility platforms. This aligns with the company’s long-term goal of creating integrated smart transportation solutions for the modern world.

Not Their First Flight
Prior to the jetpack, Changan introduced three flying vehicle concepts resembling large drones. While these early models were limited in functionality, they served as essential testing grounds for propulsion and stability systems now being implemented in newer designs.
Stay tuned as Changan continues to push boundaries in the field of futuristic mobility. With rapid advancements and major investments, the dream of personal flight may soon become a mainstream reality.
