Hey everyone! 🌟 Guess what? China has just launched an amazing new flying machine called the V2000CG CarryAll! 🚁✈️ It’s not just any aircraft—it’s a super cool electric vehicle that can take off and land vertically, just like a helicopter! But it also flies forward like a plane. How awesome is that?
The V2000CG CarryAll was created by a tech company named AutoFlight in Shanghai. It’s really big, with a takeoff weight of up to 2 tonnes (that’s about the weight of two small cars!). It can carry up to 400 kilograms of cargo, zoom at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and fly as far as 200 kilometers without stopping!
This electric flying machine is called an eVTOL, which stands for electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing. That means it doesn’t need a runway to take off or land—it can go straight up into the sky and come back down wherever there’s space. Pretty neat, huh?
The V2000CG CarryAll has already flown safely over 40,000 kilometers in places like China, the United Arab Emirates, and Japan. That’s like flying around the Earth once! 🌍 It’s going to be used for things like delivering packages to places that are hard to reach and helping out in emergencies.
“Our aircraft has shown it can handle all kinds of terrains and tasks,” said Xie Jia, the senior vice president of AutoFlight. “We can’t wait to see all the ways it will help people!”
This is all happening as China’s sky-high technology is growing super fast. Experts say that by 2025, the market for these kinds of flying machines could be worth 1.5 trillion yuan (that’s a huge number!). And by 2035, it could reach 3.5 trillion yuan! 💰
Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll all be flying around in electric air taxis! Wouldn’t that be cool? 🚀
