Recently, the boundaries of the sky have been pushed further once again. With the successful maiden flight of the INFLYNC L600 – the world’s first full-scale tilt-ducted-wing eVTOL developed by INFLYNC – captivating global attention, the countdown to the large-scale commercial operation of humanity’s “air taxis” has officially begun. Behind this landmark aviation achievement, Reliance New Energy, a global pioneer in cylindrical tabless lithium batteries, has equipped this “bloom of national rejuvenation” with a robust and powerful power core, thanks to its flagship high-energy-density, high-power 21700 cell – the RS50.
Peak Performance, Redefining the Power Foundation of Low-Altitude Mobility
In the highly competitive arena of eVTOLs, hailed as the “next generation of transportation”, any slight deficiency in battery performance poses an ultimate challenge to flight safety. The INFLYNC L600 delivers an ultra-long range of 600 kilometers and a cruise speed of 360 km/h, with a capacity to carry one pilot and five passengers. The pivotal enabler of this “high-safety, high-performance and low-noise” flight scenario is precisely Reliance New Energy’s INR21700-RS50 cell.
Reliance New Energy is acutely aware that incremental improvements to traditional batteries have reached physical limits; only a fundamental restructuring of core design logic can drive industry transformation.
Ultra-low Internal Resistance: The tabless structure cuts the cell’s internal resistance by more than 80%, down to a mere 2.7mΩ. This ensures exceptional temperature control of the cell even under the high-rate current demands of eVTOL takeoff and landing, maximizes safety margins and guarantees ultimate safety during high-power operation.
Blazing-Fast Charging: Boasting a maximum 8C charging capability, theRS50 supports ultra-rapid charging, enabling a 0% to 80% charge in just 15minutes. This feature perfectly aligns with the high-frequency operationalneeds of INFLYNC’s air taxis, making future air commuting efficiency trulyon par with ground business vehicles.
Wide Temperature Tolerance: The RS50 maintains stable dischargeperformance in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C.Whether it is for mountain rescue missions in bitter cold or urban passengertransport in sweltering heat, Reliance’s power core keeps running steadilyat all times.
Precision Manufacturing, Forging a World-Class Cornerstone for Low-AltitudeAviation
Reliance New Energy operates world-class digital manufacturing lines andimplements millesimal-level quality control, ensuring unrivaled consistency of every cell delivered to partners and thus safeguarding the stability of batterypacks. What’s more, the RS50 cell offers an impressive cycle life of up to 3,000cycles under normal operating conditions, laying the most solid foundation for thefull-lifecycle economic benefits of future air mobility.
Rooted in the Low-Altitude Economy, Positioning for Global Competition
As Shanghai has clearly set a goal to build its core low-altitude economy industryinto an 80-billion-yuan sector by 2028 and emerge as the “World eVTOL Capital”,the rise of leading enterprises such as INFLYNC signals that the eVTOL industryhas shifted from debates over conceptual technical routes to a fierce competitionof engineering capabilities and mass production feasibility.
The successful maiden flight of the INFLYNC L600 has demonstrated thecommercial potential of tilt-ducted-wing eVTOLs to the world, while Reliance’sRS50 cell has set the industry’s power benchmark with its proven performance.Going forward, Reliance New Energy will continue to deepen its expertise in thetabless cylindrical battery field and leverage its rich portfolio of high-energy-density, high-power cells to continuously empower the development of INFLYNC’sall-scenario air transportation ecosystem covering passenger transport, rescueand cargo delivery.
As Mr. Li Jiaxiang, former Administrator of the Civil Aviation Administration ofChina, stated at the China International Import Expo, “Though the aircraftshowcased by INFLYNC today is just a piece of machinery, it is in essence abeautiful bloom in the course of China’s national rejuvenation. We have everyreason to be proud of this aircraft.” With its unwavering technological focus andleading manufacturing strength, Reliance New Energy is injecting a steady streamof power into this bloom, making the future of safe, efficient and quiet mobility trulywithin our grasp.
