A VT24L logistics drone just lifted off from Zhuhai’s Tangjia Port, carrying fresh seafood on a 55-minute flight that hops over Zhongshan to land at a Guangzhou wharf. Welcome to the Greater Bay Area’s first ultra-long-range drone delivery line—a glimpse at tomorrow’s low-altitude logistics.
This maiden intercity journey proved that the hybrid-wing eVTOL freighter can handle longer hauls across cities, validating its role in hauling time-sensitive goods like seafood and medicines. With battery-powered lift and fixed-wing cruise, it blends the hover flexibility of a multicopter with airplane-style efficiency.
Alongside the flight, engineers unveiled a pioneering “dual-core” safety system—designed for tricky environments like islands—combining real-time weather monitoring with layered protection protocols. It promises to fill gaps in low-altitude meteorological coverage and keep drones flying safely.
