Recently, Blue Vector, the parent company of SKYLA, successfully closed a new round of financing exceeding RMB 100 million. The round was co-led by Shenzhen Capital Group (SCGC) and a strategic investor’s USD-denominated fund, with continued strong support from existing shareholders—Houxue Capital, Highlight Capital, and Jinding Capital—who significantly increased their stakes. Shanghai Angel Club also participated as a co-investor.

This marks the fifth consecutive funding round for Blue Vector’s eVTOL business in the past six months, bringing total raised capital to over RMB 400 million. This rapid fundraising momentum strongly reflects the capital market’s high confidence in SKYLA’s deep aviation heritage, systems-level engineering execution capability, airworthiness certification experience, and clear commercialization roadmap.

Shenzhen Capital Group (SCGC), one of China’s most influential domestic venture capital firms, has long focused on strategic emerging industries—particularly hard-tech sectors—and is actively embracing the rise of the low-altitude economy. With robust industrial integration capabilities and patient long-term capital, SCGC views this investment as a strategic move during the critical transition phase of eVTOL—from technology validation to commercial operations.

Shanghai Angel Club, a specialized early-stage investment platform established under the guidance of the Shanghai Municipal Government by the Shanghai Institute of Science & Technology Finance, has consistently championed the principle of “investing early, investing small, and investing in hard tech” to nurture frontier innovation ecosystems. Its participation in Blue Vector represents a pivotal step in its hard-tech portfolio, signaling strong recognition of the team’s technical prowess and innovation direction, while also aligning with its mission to accelerate technology commercialization and support Shanghai’s development as a global science and technology innovation hub.

Existing investors—including Houxue Capital, Highlight Capital, and Jinding Capital—have once again demonstrated their long-term conviction through continued financial backing. Their support stems not only from trust in SKYLA’s core technological strengths—such as tilt-rotor configuration, software-defined aircraft architecture, and high-safety tri-electric systems—but also from deep alignment with the company’s foundational engineering philosophy: “Building aircraft with airworthiness in mind from day one.”

Since its inception, SKYLA has adhered to the SIENS design philosophy—Safe, Intelligent, Efficient, Noiseless, and Sustainable—and upheld the principles of “reverence for the sky and respect for engineering.” The core team comprises veterans from world-leading aerospace organizations, including COMAC, AVIC, Aerochine, and Collins Aerospace, with extensive full-lifecycle experience in developing and certifying military aircraft, commercial airliners, business jets, and eVTOLs.

As national reforms in low-altitude airspace management accelerate and the commercial window for eVTOLs fully opens, SKYLA is steadily advancing flight testing of its V30 prototype, preparing for airworthiness certification, and building a resilient core supply chain—driving the transition from technical validation toward scalable operations.

Looking ahead, SKYLA will continue to anchor its development in commercial aviation-grade safety standards, powered by a vision of software-defined, open, and collaborative innovation. Together with strategic partners, the company aims to co-create a safe, intelligent, and sustainable paradigm for low-altitude urban mobility—positioning itself as a foundational builder of the global urban air transportation ecosystem.
