What happened in China AutoFlight partnered with logistics giant SF Express to service offshore wind farm logistics using heavy 2-ton eVTOL aircraft. Rather than waiting for complex urban air taxi regulations to mature, the partnership focuses on deploying heavy-payload low-altitude transport directly into industrial maritime operations. In parallel with its domestic rollout, AutoFlight achieved an overseas eVTOL type certificate in Indonesia, demonstrating an aggressive push into international maritime supply chains. Looking ahead, AutoFlight targets real operational routes by 2027 and targets more than 300 aircraft for the marine energy market. This shift highlights a commercial pivot away from urban air passenger transport toward revenue-generating industrial logistics. ## How it works / the detail The operational framework created by AutoFlight and SF Express addresses a persistent bottleneck in energy infrastructure: maintaining remote maritime assets. Servicing offshore wind installations typically requires expensive crew transfer vessels or conventional helicopters, both of which…
