The company said that the 1st prototype of said tiltrotor drone (model name UR6000) will be present during the Zhuhai Expo later this year.

The UR6000 is a 6-ton tiltrotor drone which is planned for autonomous cargo delivery in the near term, and will be further developed to ferry 7-10 passengers in the long term.

On October 11, in Wuhu Aviation Industrial Park, the world's first 6-ton tilt-rotor aircraft rolled off the assembly line in the Wuhu United Aircraft Production Workshop. This tilt-rotor aircraft, code-named Lanying R6000, is the world's most advanced aviation-grade drone.

It supports unmanned and manned flights, and can achieve international-level long-distance point-to-point flights. Lanying R6000 has a maximum take-off weight of 6 tons and a maximum commercial load weight of 2 tons. It can carry up to 10 passengers, has a maximum range of 4,000 kilometers, a maximum cruising speed of 550 kilometers per hour, and a maximum cruising altitude of 7,620 meters.

I'm very pleasantly surprised that it looks like they've produced an actual prototype.
