AutoFlight Aviation Technology has unveiled the world’s first integrated sea–air solution for low-altitude mobility, combining a zero-carbon water vertiport with eVTOL aircraft to expand advanced air mobility infrastructure across rivers, lakes, and coastal zones.

The solution helps move low-altitude aviation from concept to real-world deployment and supports five priority use cases: energy platform maintenance, emergency rescue, high-frequency commuter services, sea-air tourism, and networks of mobile water-based vertiports.

AutoFlight’s Zero-Carbon eVTOL Water Vertiport functions as a floating vertiport and operations centre.

It integrates eVTOL landing platforms, photovoltaic charging and storage, intelligent dispatch, and communication systems, enabling fast deployment without land-based construction.

Its fully electric design supports take-off, landing, and charging while enabling real-time coordination with eVTOLs.

The water vertiport is compatible with AutoFlight’s core models—including the industrial-grade White Shark, the 2-ton-class cargo model CarryAll, and the six-seat passenger eVTOL Prosperity—together forming a flexible, integrated land–sea–air mobility network.

Amid growing global demand for sustainable transport, AutoFlight’s water-based vertiport provides a low-impact approach to deploying urban and regional air mobility.

By leveraging existing waterways, cities can rapidly deploy electric aviation infrastructure without major land development.

Developed with strategic partner CATL, the solution incorporates safe, high-performance battery systems and clean-energy technology across both eVTOLs and vertiports, supporting the development of a carbon-neutral air mobility ecosystem.
