On November 6, at the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE), leading low-altitude economy innovator TCab Tech and flight simulation technology leader China Simulation Sciences (CSS) held a grand strategic cooperation signing ceremony.

The two companies announced that they will collaborate deeply in three core areas—eVTOL simulation equipment R&D, training system development, and global market expansion—to jointly accelerate the establishment of a robust commercial operations framework for the eVTOL industry and shape a new blueprint for low-altitude economic development.

Strategic Partnership Signing Ceremony

Tang Xiaoming, Co-Founder and COO of TCab Tech, and Tang Yong, Technical Director of CSS, signed the agreement on behalf of both sides.

The ceremony was witnessed by distinguished guests including:

    Tang Jinsong, Deputy Secretary of Minhang District CPC Committee

    Yao Jihua, Deputy Director of Minhang District People’s Congress

    Ji Guangping, Chairman & General Manager of CSS

    Huang Yongwei, Founder & CEO of TCab Tech

A Major Milestone for China’s eVTOL Commercialization

This strategic partnership marks a significant breakthrough in the supporting ecosystem required for the commercialization of China’s eVTOL industry.

As an aircraft OEM dedicated to “providing safe and convenient aerial mobility for society,” TCab Tech has been committed to the R&D and industrialization of its E20 eVTOL. By partnering with CSS, TCab aims to integrate advanced aircraft design with world-class simulation training technologies, laying a strong foundation for safe, efficient, and scalable eVTOL operations in the future.

Three Key Areas of Collaboration

1. Simulation Equipment R&D — Building the “Training Ground” for eVTOL

The two companies will jointly develop engineering simulators and flight training devices (FTDs) for eVTOL applications.

TCab Tech will prioritize CSS as a strategic partner for simulation equipment.

CSS will provide dedicated resources to ensure TCab’s project needs are fully supported.

In the future, TCab engineers and pilots will benefit from customized, high-fidelity, and highly reliable R&D and training tools, accelerating E20’s design validation and pilot training process while strengthening both flight safety and airworthiness verification.

2. Training System Development Co-Creating Industry Standards and a Safety Framework

The partnership includes priority cooperation in:

    Training system architecture

    Airworthiness compliance alignment

    Development of training standards and device specifications

Beyond serving both companies, this collaboration aims to contribute to the establishment of China’s eVTOL pilot training and certification system, helping the industry build a systematic, standardized, and safety-driven operational framework.

3. Global Market Expansion — Going Global Together to Showcase China’s AAM Strength

With the vast potential of the global AAM market, the two companies will form a close “go-global alliance.”

For overseas projects:

    TCab Tech and CSS will jointly deliver integrated solutions combining aircraft + training systems.

    This cooperation will enhance the global competitiveness of Chinese AAM enterprises and showcase the strength of Chinese innovation and engineering.

Quotes from Both Parties

Huang Yongwei, Founder & CEO of TCab Tech, said:

    “We are delighted to join hands with CSS, a partner with deep expertise in aviation simulation. The success of eVTOL commercialization relies on a mature simulation-based training system. This collaboration will allow aircraft development and training system construction to progress in parallel, providing crucial support for achieving our operational goals and ensuring flight safety. The CIIE is not only a stage for innovation, but also a bridge for connecting the industrial ecosystem. We look forward to working with CSS to showcase China’s innovation in the future of transportation.”

Ji Guangping, Chairman & General Manager of CSS, said:

    “TCab Tech is a leading enterprise in China’s eVTOL sector. We are honored to become its strategic partner and jointly explore the application of simulation technologies in next-generation aircraft. CSS will fully leverage its technical and engineering strengths in aviation simulation to support project implementation and together build a world-leading eVTOL training solution.”
