Electric Cargo eVTOL Missions
AutoFlight Flew Fresh Tea Over Mountains With Its c

AutoFlight completed China’s first 2-ton-class autonomous eVTOL cargo trial, flying fresh spring tea 120 km across mountainous terrain in Guizhou Province in 37 minutes with its 'CarryAll V2000CG' aircraft. The autonomous cargo run connected a remote plantation to a high-speed rail hub, enabling same-day delivery from western China to Shanghai.
The CarryAll can transport up to 400 kg at a cruise speed of about 180 km/h and requires no runway for takeoff or landing. It holds type, production and airworthiness certificates from China’s Civil Aviation Administration. Remote agricultural regions face logistics bottlenecks that limit access to broader markets. AutoFlight shows how autonomous electric cargo aircraft can bridge transportation gaps in mountainous regions where road travel is slow and infrastructure costs are high.
