Recently, the 2-ton autonomous cargo eVTOL independently developed by AutoFlight, an enterprise in the CATL ecosystem, named V2000CG Kai Rui Ou, has officially received the Type Validation Certificate (Validated Type Certificate, hereinafter VTC) issued by the Indonesia Civil Aviation Authority (DGCA), becoming the world's first eVTOL model to receive overseas type validation.
As the world's first eVTOL "International Visa", the issuance of Indonesia's VTC proves that AutoFlight V2000CG's design meets the airworthiness standards of the country of origin (China) and simultaneously satisfies the airworthiness requirements of the importing country (Indonesia). This VTC achieves a historic breakthrough in the global layout of China's low-altitude intelligent manufacturing enterprises and provides prerequisites for V2000CG to launch commercial operations in the "Archipelago of Ten Thousand Islands".
China-Indonesia Bilateral Civil Aviation Airworthiness Certification, Verifying China's Low-Altitude Intelligent Manufacturing Capability
Obtaining the Type Validation Certificate (VTC) involves in-depth inspection and comprehensive benchmarking of the application model's airworthiness standards by the bilateral civil aviation authorities. Previously, V2000CG completed comprehensive conformity verification tests and flight tests, and was issued the Type Certificate (TC) by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in March 2024.
On the basis of holding the TC issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, in July 2025, AutoFlight submitted an airworthiness validation application to the DGCA. After conducting work such as bilateral airworthiness standard difference analysis, multiple rounds of online technical seminars, review of the full set of technical data, Indonesia's Civil Aviation Authority visiting AutoFlight, and on-site inspections of the power battery provider CATL, confirming that V2000CG fully met Indonesia's airworthiness requirements, the Indonesia Civil Aviation Authority officially issued the Type Validation Certificate (VTC) on June 3, 2026.
Indonesia has a foundation in independent whole-aircraft development and aircraft manufacturing industry in Southeast Asia and possesses strong airworthiness certification capabilities. The successful certification of this Indonesia VTC highlights the rigor, authority, and international recognition of the Chinese civil aviation airworthiness certification system, assisting China's low-altitude economy airworthiness standards to go global.
Solving the "Archipelago of Ten Thousand Islands" Logistics Challenge, Connecting the Global Scenario Implementation Loop
As the world's largest archipelagic country, Indonesia has over 17,000 islands, with relatively limited port infrastructure. Traditional sea transport is time-consuming and inefficient, traditional air transport depends on runways and is costly, and high-efficiency solutions are still needed for cargo transportation and emergency supply between islands.
AutoFlight V2000CG precisely adapts to the market demand in Indonesia and its underlying Southeast Asia. The model has a maximum takeoff weight of 2,000 kg, cruise speed of 200 km/h, and range of 200 km. Relying on the composite wing configuration advantage, all-electric drive low-carbon and eco-friendly, vertical takeoff and landing without runway, precisely adapted to Indonesia market such as fresh food, medicine, emergency supplies and other high value-added goods cross-island transportation needs, providing a new low-altitude solution for the island logistics system of the entire Southeast Asia region.
Technology Verification Drives Commercial Implementation, China Low-Altitude Solutions Empower Global Markets
Currently, the low-altitude economy is fully moving from technology verification to commercial implementation. As the world's first and only ton-level eVTOL to obtain the "Airworthiness Three Certificates" (TC, PC, AC) issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, V2000CG Kai Rui Ou has previously completed flight applications in domestic scenarios such as ocean platform operation and maintenance, island support transportation, emergency fire and rescue.
The formal issuance of Indonesia's VTC this time further accelerated the industrial loop of eVTOL "Technology Verification - Airworthiness Certification - Overseas Implementation". With the implementation and operation of V2000CG in the Indonesian market, AutoFlight will strive to expand the commercial operation of more models in larger markets globally.
An AutoFlight executive stated that the world's first eVTOL VTC certificate is not only an authoritative recognition of AutoFlight's core technology and safety system by both civil aviation authorities, but also an important benchmark for China's low-altitude economy solutions empowering countries along the "Belt and Road". In the future, AutoFlight will join hands with CATL to continuously deliver China's low-altitude intelligent manufacturing technology and operation solutions, assisting more countries and regions with restricted geographical environments and insufficient transportation efficiency to unlock new possibilities for the low-altitude economy, and constantly lead the global ton-level eVTOL overseas race track.
About TC and VTC
TC (Type Certificate, Type Certificate) refers to the certificate issued by civil aviation authorities for products such as civil aircraft, aircraft engines or propellers, proving that the aircraft design meets the corresponding airworthiness requirements. As one of the "Airworthiness Three Certificates" (TC, PC, AC), it is the basis for aircraft to legally enter the local market and commercial operation.
VTC (Validated Type Certificate, Type Validation Certificate) is a recognition certificate issued by the civil aviation authority of the importing country/region to models that have obtained TC from other countries, used to prove that the imported aircraft design meets the airworthiness standards and regulations of the home country.
VTC is equivalent to TC in legal effect and airworthiness requirements.
