AutoFlight V2000CG CarryAll Cargo eVTOL Receives Indonesian Type Certification, Becoming World's First eVTOL with Overseas Validated Type Certificate
Chinese eVTOL manufacturer AutoFlight has announced that its V2000CG CarryAll cargo drone received a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) from Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on June 3, 2026. The aircraft becomes the world's first eVTOL to receive an overseas validated type certification, clearing it for commercial operations in the Indonesian market.
Highlights
- AutoFlight's V2000CG CarryAll received a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) from Indonesia's DGCA on June 3, 2026, becoming the world's first eVTOL with an overseas validated type certification.
- The V2000CG has a maximum take-off weight of 2,000 kg, a cruise speed of 200 km/h, and a maximum range of 200 km, using a fully electric lift-and-cruise architecture.
- The certification confirms the V2000CG meets airworthiness standards of both China's CAAC and Indonesia's DGCA, authorizing commercial cargo operations in Indonesia.
- Indonesia's archipelago of over 17,000 islands presents a major logistics challenge that AutoFlight aims to address with inter-island eVTOL cargo delivery.
- This milestone signals that cargo eVTOL aircraft are overcoming regulatory barriers and moving toward real-world commercial deployment in Southeast Asia.
AutoFlight V2000CG CarryAll Cargo eVTOL Receives Indonesian Type Certification
Chinese eVTOL manufacturer AutoFlight announced via its official LinkedIn account that its V2000CG CarryAll cargo drone has received a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) from Indonesian authorities, making it the world's first eVTOL to receive an overseas validated type certification.
Dual Airworthiness Certification Ensures Regulatory Compliance
According to AutoFlight's announcement, the certification confirms that the V2000CG's design meets the airworthiness requirements of both the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The certificate was formally issued on June 3, 2026, authorizing this maximum take-off weight (MTOW) 2-metric-ton unmanned cargo eVTOL to commence commercial operations in the Indonesian market.
Key Technical Specifications
- Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW): 2,000 kg
- Cruise Speed: 200 km/h
- Maximum Range: 200 km
- Take-Off and Landing: Fully electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL), no runway required
Targeting Indonesia's Island Logistics Challenges
AutoFlight highlighted that Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, faces significant logistics challenges. The V2000CG employs a lift-and-cruise fully electric architecture, enabling vertical take-off and landing without the need for a runway. This makes it particularly well-suited for inter-island transport of high-value cargo, including fresh agricultural produce, pharmaceuticals, and emergency relief supplies, offering a reliable low-altitude logistics solution for the Southeast Asian region.
Milestone Significance
This certification marks a major breakthrough for AutoFlight in its international market expansion and signals that cargo eVTOL types are progressively overcoming regulatory hurdles on the path toward real-world commercial deployment. For archipelagic nations across Southeast Asia, large-scale cargo eVTOLs are emerging as a viable new option to bridge geographical divides and strengthen supply chains.
