“AutoFlight CarryAll Achieves All Three Key Flight Approvals”

Chi­na-based Aut­oFlight, an eVTOL air­craft devel­op­er and man­u­fac­tur­er, announced this week, its Car­ryAll V2000CG, an unmanned car­go drone, has now achieved all three key approvals from the CAAC, reports globaltimes.cn.

Approvals include Type Cer­tifi­cate, Pro­duc­tion Approval and now the all-impor­tant Air­wor­thi­ness Cer­tifi­cate. The car­go drone is the world’s first over-one-ton in weight eVTOL air­craft. This marks an impor­tant break­through and a sol­id step toward the com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion and roll-out of large eVTOLs in low-alti­tude econ­o­my oper­a­tions.

The arti­cles states, “Devel­oped inde­pen­dent­ly by Aut­oflight, the V2000CG Car­ryAll is a ful­ly elec­tric, unmanned air­craft with a 2‑ton max­i­mum take­off weight and a 400-kilo­gram pay­load capac­i­ty. Capa­ble of reach­ing cruise speeds up to 200 kilo­me­tres per hour and cov­er­ing a range up to 200 kilo­me­tres, the air­craft com­bines ver­ti­cal take­off and land­ing capa­bil­i­ties with the cruis­ing effi­cien­cy of a fixed-wing air­craft.”

It con­tin­ues, “Its flex­i­ble deploy­ment makes it ide­al for low-alti­tude logis­tics, emer­gency sup­ply deliv­ery, and dis­as­ter response mis­sions.”

Aut­oFlight’s Car­ryAll

July has been a busy month for Aut­oFlight. 

: At the 50th Wuhan Cross­ing the Riv­er Fes­ti­val, the Car­ryAll par­tic­i­pat­ed in a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone for emer­gency response oper­a­tions.

With over 2,000 swim­mers in the Yangtze Riv­er, the air­craft pro­vid­ed aer­i­al pro­tec­tion as part of an inno­v­a­tive ‘water, land and air’ three-dimen­sion­al emer­gency sup­port sys­tem, work­ing along­side water police speed­boats and med­ical teams.

The craft offers rapid deploy­ment and quick response to emer­gency sit­u­a­tions includ­ing the drop­ping of life rafts to sup­port up to 20 peo­ple; deploy­ing fire extin­guish­er can­is­ters; or deliv­er­ing emer­gency sup­plies in cat­a­stroph­ic sit­u­a­tions.

: The com­pa­ny’s grow­ing strong links with the Mid­dle East was typ­i­fied by the com­pa­ny host­ing a high-lev­el del­e­ga­tion from the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates (UAE) for research dis­cus­sions and tech­ni­cal demon­stra­tions.

The del­e­ga­tion includ­ed Saif Mohammed Al Suwai­di, Direc­tor of the Gen­er­al Civ­il Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty of the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates (GCAA), Muhan­nad Sulaiman Al Naqbi, Con­sul Gen­er­al of the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates in Shang­hai, and Badr Sal­im Al Ola­ma, Direc­tor of the Abu Dhabi Invest­ment Office.

Dur­ing the vis­it, the del­e­ga­tion watched a demon­stra­tion flight of the Car­ryAll at Aut­oFlight’s new­ly estab­lished eVTOL test­ing facil­i­ty.

Mid­dle East: Aut­oFlight “Focus­es on UAE Deploy­ment”

: The com­pa­ny opened a unique eVTOL Exhi­bi­tion and Expe­ri­ence Cen­tre in Cang­nan Coun­ty, Zhe­jiang Province. This inno­v­a­tive facil­i­ty inte­grates tech­nol­o­gy dis­plays, inter­ac­tive expe­ri­ences and train­ing facil­i­ties, while serv­ing as a hub for sem­i­nars, lec­tures and research designed to bring low-alti­tude ser­vices into the pub­lic spot­light.
