Chinese electric flying vehicle manufacturer Aridge delivered its first X3-F aircraft to the UAE. The vehicle is scheduled to conduct low-altitude trial operations within the UAE's low-altitude aviation regulatory sandbox under civil aviation oversight by the General Civil Aviation Authority. The delivery followed a delegation visit to China by H.H.
