eVTOL能从水上起飞了！低空场景有望实现“点对点直达”

Core Viewpoint - The launch of a domestically developed 2-ton eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft) at a "water airport" marks a significant advancement in low-altitude economy, providing a "sea and air integrated" solution for transportation and logistics [1][2]. Group 1: eVTOL and Water Airport Features - The "water airport" operates on pure electric power, featuring a large deck as a take-off and landing platform, with the cabin serving as a waiting area and maintenance room [2]. - The eVTOL can take off and land precisely within designated areas and withstand wind speeds of up to 7 levels [2]. - The facility is designed as a "zero-carbon water airport," utilizing solar energy stored from photovoltaic panels to meet its daily power needs [2]. Group 2: Industry Applications and Future Prospects - The solution aims to address challenges in low-altitude infrastructure deployment, enhancing the scalability of low-altitude economic applications [5]. - The integration of water-based take-off platforms with land-based operations is expected to create more direct transportation scenarios, significantly reducing travel times from "hour-level" to "minute-level" [5]. - The eVTOL has already demonstrated its capabilities in logistics, completing various missions, including transporting goods over distances of 161 kilometers in about one hour [6]. - Future plans include the potential for large-scale passenger eVTOL operations by 2028 to 2030, allowing users to easily find nearby take-off points through an app [6].
