China’s homegrown electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft just leveled up offshore logistics! The V2000CG CarryAll, a 2-tonne flying marvel, completed its first-ever cross-sea cargo mission this week, zipping from Shenzhen to an offshore oil platform 150 km away. 🌍✨
Dubbed a "sky truck," the eco-friendly aircraft carried fresh fruit and medical supplies during its 58-minute flight over open waters. This isn’t just a delivery—it’s a game-changer for low-altitude transport, blending land and sea logistics like never before. Think drones, but scaled up for industrial needs! 🔋📦
Experts say this breakthrough could revolutionize supply chains for remote areas, disaster relief, and energy sectors. With China pushing green tech innovation, the V2000CG’s success hints at a future where heavy-duty electric flights become the norm. 🛩️💡
