SHANGHAI / HONG KONG – July 25, 2026 – FutureNet, Inc. (OTC Pink: FUUN) ("FutureNet" or the "Company") today announced a definitive strategic pivot into the global advanced air mobility (AAM) and low-altitude economy sector through its deepened operational association with Shanghai Hangkuai Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hangkuai"), a pioneer in next-generation tilt-duct electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. This transformation positions FutureNet at the epicenter of China’s explosive low-altitude economy, a market projected to reach RMB 2.5 trillion (approx. USD 350 billion) by 2030, backed by national strategic policy.
Proprietary Technology with Best-in-Class Performance
Hangkuai’s proprietary tilt-duct compound wing architecture represents a generational leap beyond conventional multi-rotor and fixed-wing designs, solving the industry’s trilemma of range, noise, and payload. Key validated performance metrics include:
- Maximum Range: 400 km — more than double the industry average of 100–200 km, enabling true inter-city and cross-regional operations.
- Acoustic Footprint: <65 dB — nearly 50% quieter than traditional helicopters, critical for urban air integration and regulatory approval.
- Payload Capacity: Up to 1,000 kg, supporting heavy logistics, emergency medical supply chains, and future passenger configurations.
- Energy Efficiency: 2.1 km/kWh, outperforming existing competitors by an estimated 75%.
- Safety Redundancy: Triple-redundant flight control systems with a target catastrophic failure rate below 10⁻⁹ per flight hour, complemented by a whole-aircraft parachute recovery system.
De-Risked, Phased Commercialization Strategy
FutureNet is adopting a disciplined "cargo-first, passenger-later" roadmap that mitigates technical and regulatory risk while generating early, tangible revenue:
- Phase I (2026–2027): Deployment of the HK-66 aerial performance and light-cargo platforms. The Company has already secured Letters of Intent (LOIs) exceeding RMB 60 million and anticipates delivery of 60+ performance units for cultural tourism, nighttime aerial spectacles, and emergency-response demonstrations.
- Phase II (2027–2028): Scale-up of the LD-series medium-to-heavy cargo eVTOLs (200–500 kg payload) for medical logistics, industrial transport, and disaster relief, with annual delivery targets in the hundreds of units.
- Phase III (2028–2029): Entry into manned operations with the PA-series passenger aircraft, targeting urban air mobility (UAM) and inter-city commuter routes following full Type Certification (TC) by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
- Phase IV (2030+): Networked, multi-scenario operations across logistics, passenger transport, tourism, and public services, with annual delivery targets of 500–800 units and the establishment of a nationwide low-altitude operations network.
Formidable Ecosystem and Strategic Partnerships
The platform is reinforced by an unparalleled coalition of strategic partners that provide capital, infrastructure, and guaranteed offtake:
- State-Level Infrastructure: Collaboration with China National Machinery Industry Sixth Design & Research Institute (CIP) to deploy 50+ low-altitude eco-bases and vertiports nationwide.
- Provincial Capital: A comprehensive strategic partnership with Sichuan Development Holding’s Beautiful Tianfu Investment for bulk cargo procurement, co-investment in Southwest China demonstration hubs, and high-altitude airworthiness testing.
- Green Energy: A strategic alliance with GCL Group for the co-development of dedicated aviation-grade batteries and a nationwide photovoltaic fast-swap station network, underpinning a zero-carbon operational model.
- Aerospace & Defense: Deep technical cooperation with AVIC, AVIC Jincheng Group, and PLA 5311 Factory for aerostructures, tilt-duct propulsion mechanisms, and military-grade avionics hardware.
- Academic Powerhouse: Joint R&D with Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), Tsinghua University, Beihang University, and the MIIT Aviation Industry Development Strategy Research Center, ensuring a continuous pipeline of intellectual property and elite engineering talent.
Market Opportunity and Financial Trajectory
China’s low-altitude economy has been elevated to a national strategic pillar industry under the 15th Five-Year Plan, with over 1,200 low-altitude routes already opened and more than 1,000 vertiports planned. FutureNet is a direct beneficiary of this structural tailwind.
The Company’s financial model projects a steep, venture-style growth curve:
| Milestone | Valuation / Revenue Target |
|---|---|
| Series A (2026–2027) | RMB 1.8 billion valuation |
| Series B (2027–2028) | RMB 4.0 billion valuation |
| Series C (2028–2029) | RMB 8.0 billion valuation |
| Revenue (2026–2027) | RMB 200 million |
| Revenue (2028–2029) | RMB 800 million |
| Revenue (2030–2031) | RMB 12 billion |
| IPO Target (2031–2032) | RMB 30–50 billion (STAR Market / HKEX) |
The model anticipates net margins reaching 22% by 2032, with an estimated investment payback period of 3.5 years.
Management Commentary
"FutureNet is not merely entering a new market; we are capturing a once-in-a-generation structural shift in global transportation," said a spokesperson for FutureNet, Inc. "By combining Hangkuai’s proprietary tilt-duct technology with a battle-tested 'cargo-first' commercialization strategy and a fortress of state-level partnerships, we offer investors a rare, de-risked entry into the trillion-dollar low-altitude economy. Our clear path from a RMB 1.8 billion platform to a RMB 30–50 billion IPO valuation underscores the extraordinary return potential for early stakeholders."
Investment Highlights
- Deep Technology Moat: The tilt-duct compound wing is one of the most complex and highest-barrier eVTOL architectures in development. With core control system localization exceeding 80% and a targeted 100+ patent portfolio within three years, FutureNet is building a defensible intellectual property fortress.
- Sovereign Policy Tailwinds: As a direct beneficiary of China’s national low-altitude economy strategy, the Company enjoys access to dedicated infrastructure funds, R&D subsidies, and accelerated airworthiness certification pathways.
- Revenue Visibility: Diversified revenue streams across equipment sales, operational services, pilot training, and vertiport management reduce reliance on single-product cycles and provide near-term cash flow.
- Multiple Exit Avenues: A primary IPO path on the STAR Market or Hong Kong Stock Exchange is supplemented by strategic acquisition interest from global aerospace conglomerates and major technology groups seeking AAM capabilities.
