AutoFlight’s CarryAll eVTOL Supports Emergency Response at Wuhan River Festival

At the 50th Wuhan Crossing the River Festival, AutoFlight’s CarryAll eVTOL participated in a significant milestone for emergency response operations.

With over 2,000 swimmers in the Yangtze River, our CarryAll unmanned eVTOL provided aerial protection as part of an innovative ‘water, land and air’ three-dimensional emergency support system, working alongside water police speedboats and medical teams.

This marks the first time any large eVTOL has been deployed for actual open-water rescue standby operations.

Why This Matters for Emergency Response:

• Rapid Deployment: Vertical take-off capability enables quick response from any location.
• Multi-Purpose Design: Can drop two life rafts simultaneously (supporting up to 20 people), deploy fire extinguishing canisters, or deliver emergency supplies.
• Real-World Validation: Completed the world’s first actual rescue drill with a ton-level eVTOL in open waters.

‘Low altitude + emergency’ applications are emerging as one of the first practical implementation scenarios for eVTOL technology, and this successful event demonstrates the immense potential for saving lives through innovative aviation solutions.
