AutoFlight has announced the delivery of the world’s first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft exceeding one-ton maximum take-off weight to achieve complete airworthiness certification with all three required approvals from civil aviation authorities.
The CarryAll aircraft has been delivered to Heli Chuangxing Intelligent, marking a historic milestone in commercial eVTOL operations and representing a significant advancement toward the practical implementation of low-altitude economic applications.
Comprehensive Airworthiness Achievement
On July 21, the Civil Aviation Administration of China approved the airworthiness certificate (AC) for the CarryAll, completing the final stage of initial airworthiness certification review.
The aircraft now holds all three essential airworthiness certifications: Type certificate (TC) for design approval, production certificate (PC) for manufacturing authorization, and airworthiness certificate (AC) for individual aircraft certification.
This achievement establishes the CarryAll as the world’s first eVTOL aircraft above one-ton capacity designed, manufactured, and delivered in strict accordance with civil aviation airworthiness procedures, providing the fundamental qualifications for official commercial operations.
The CarryAll represents a breakthrough in heavy-lift eVTOL technology, featuring a maximum take-off weight of two tons, payload capacity of 400 kilograms, cruise speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour, and range of up to 200 kilometers.
The fully electric, unmanned aircraft combines vertical take-off and landing capabilities with fixed-wing cruise efficiency. The aircraft’s flexible deployment capabilities make it particularly suited for low-altitude logistics, emergency supply delivery and disaster response missions.
AutoFlight’s rigorous development program has encompassed comprehensive testing across diverse operational environments.
The CarryAll has completed over 40,000 kilometers of safe flight operations, spanning research and development test flights, airworthiness compliance verification and scenario validation missions.
