AutoFlight has completed China’s first 2-ton-class eVTOL delivery of fresh spring tea, transporting cargo over 120 km of rugged mountain terrain in Guizhou province in just 37 minutes.
This unmanned flight by the CarryAll V2000CG aircraft slashed transport times compared to road routes, enabling same-day delivery to major cities.
The trial linked Anshun and Guiyang, two cities in western China’s mountainous region.
Integrated with high-speed rail, the operation delivered tea from remote plantations to eastern consumers within 24 hours.
The CarryAll, a cargo variant of AutoFlight’s certified Prosperity model, holds CAAC type certification as the world’s first eVTOL over one ton.
This milestone validates heavy-lift eVTOL for perishable goods in challenging terrains, boosting logistics efficiency and cutting emissions versus trucks.
AutoFlight’s advances, including prior records like a 250 km flight, position it to transform regional air cargo operations.
