Lingjie Aviation: closes RMB 10 million-level angel round solely funded by Shanghai Huxiang Investment, targeting eVTOL trading and capacity services

NewTimeSpace News: Recently, Anhui Tianze Lingjie Aviation Co., Ltd. (brand Infini Aero, unlisted) closed an angel round of about RMB 10 million, funded solely by Shanghai Huxiang Investment Management Co., Ltd. The company did not disclose the exact amount or post-money valuation. The proceeds will mainly fund the construction and operation of verification bases, the refinement of its OC operation system, expansion of its OEM cooperation network, and the building of a digital platform and professional team.

Founded in August 2025 and headquartered in Feixi County, Hefei, Anhui Province, Lingjie Aviation positions itself as an eVTOL trading and capacity services platform and does not manufacture aircraft itself. Its business runs across four lines: Lingjie Feixuan, financial and asset services, OC certification, and urban capacity services. Founder Wu Zhenya said OEMs turn technology into products, while operations must handle a different set of issues, including safety responsibility, airspace coordination, local resources, fleet dispatch and customer payment terms.

On the asset side, the company signed a three-party strategic cooperation agreement with Fengfei Aviation and Wanjiang Financial Leasing in September 2026, covering the purchase of 30 V2000CG eVTOLs, with the first five to be delivered within the year and two already delivered in September. Fengfei Aviation said the order is China's first tonne-class eVTOL transaction completed through financial leasing. The company's digital base consists of the airOS operating system and the Lingjie Feixuan trading platform, which structure flight hours, mission frequency, maintenance records and operating costs for output to regulators, OEMs and financial institutions.

For verification, the company set up a regional operating platform with Fengfei Aviation in Binzhou, Shandong, where the first V2000CG cargo eVTOLs will fly routine logistics missions over coastal and industrial park scenarios; in Yulin, Shaanxi, it works with local state-owned investment platforms and research institutes to bring in aircraft by lease and test how assets are priced and how buy-back and transfer work at lease expiry. Wu said that with the Yulin project and state-owned leasing and operation services in Henan and Anhui, the company's overall revenue has reached RMB 10 million this year, and it plans to add more city nodes in 2027. The National Development and Reform Commission previously issued the Statistical Classification of the Low-Altitude Economy and Its Core Industries (Trial), dividing the sector into four major categories, 23 medium categories and 65 sub-categories.
