Photos purporting to show a COMAC CE-25A electric aircraft demonstrator at an airfield have circulated on social media, with extensive discussion on Reddit since October 26, 2026. The report says the photos have not been verified and AI generation cannot be fully ruled out, but they look at least real; the aircraft in the photos has a red and dark fuselage marked COMAC and CE-25A, with the registration shown as B-0EFH, and its design uses over-wing ducted fans.
COMAC unveiled the CE-25A all-electric aircraft concept at the China International Import Expo in 2023, describing it as a 19-seat all-electric regional commuter aircraft with a maximum cruise speed of 400 kilometers per hour. In July 2025, COMAC announced cooperation with Chinese battery manufacturer CATL and joint research with Shanghai Jiao Tong University into new battery-powered aircraft concepts. The report does not confirm the aircraft in the photos, presenting the images as the source of intrigue about the electric aircraft's progress.
