Other automakers developing flying cars in China, including Geely's Terrafugia, are also building factories in the central city of Wuhan. Meanwhile, Volkswagen AG is also studying the industry in China.
Regulators in China, however, have yet to release detailed rules on these flying vehicles. They have not given permission how this car will fly to the corners of the city or region in the country.
