About AutoFlight
AutoFlight develops lift-and-cruise electric aircraft for cargo, emergency response and passenger transport. Multiple vertical-lift propellers handle takeoff and landing, while a wing and separate cruise propulsion improve efficiency in forward flight. The V2000CG CarryAll is an uncrewed cargo platform; Prosperity is a six-seat passenger design with a 2,400-kilogram maximum takeoff weight and a stated 200-kilometre range.
CarryAll completed Chinese type certification in 2024, later adding a production certificate and delivery with full airworthiness approvals. It has flown logistics and emergency missions involving offshore energy sites, river events and intercity cargo, and Indonesia validated its type certificate in 2026. Prosperity remains in passenger-aircraft certification after a 50-kilometre autonomous demonstration between Shenzhen and Zhuhai. AutoFlight is also developing firefighting and five-tonne Matrix variants, while expanding manufacturing, product support, insurance and operating partnerships around the certified cargo family.
