China Suzhou has introduced the world’s first fully integrated sea-air urban and regional mobility solution. The first installation of AutoFlight Aviation Technology’s Zero-Carbon eVTOL Water Vertiport, which will be the first of its kind, will change the way air and sea travel live side by side in an ecosystem that is both sustainable and environmentally friendly. The combination of an eVTOL and a floating water vertiport is the first sustainable solution for mobility in coastal and inland water bodies and will deliver rapid water and air travel.
For the first time, the combination of advanced technologies and sustainable fuels has created the opportunity to deliver a true low-carbon air mobility solution. Sea and air travel can now be integrated in a seamless and optimized way, and deliver the environmental benefits. AutoFlight’s project not only offers advanced transport but a robust, sustainable solution for land, sea, and air travel. The integrated system offers an array of high-value use cases for emergencies, for tourism, and for a long list of other use cases.

What is the Zero-Carbon eVTOL Water Vertiport?
A Vertiport is an operational center supporting electric aviation and floats on water. This Vertiport is fully self-sustaining and has eVTOL landing pads and photovoltaic charging units. Such Vertiports cause no disruptions to on-land infrastructure and can therefore be quickly deployed to any water-based locations. This innovation supports the departures, arrivals, and charging of eVTOL aircraft, ensuring real-time operational control and coordination with eVTOL in eVTOL aircraft.

Sea-Air Tourism: A New Travel Experience
The Sea-Air combination opens up new possibilities for luxury tourism. Travelers can engage in premium sea and sky travel experiences at an accelerated pace and with easier access to remote, coastal destinations. This travel option enhances the eco-tourism and adventure travel offerings for consumers.
Mobile Water-Based Vertiport Networks
The idea of multiple water vertiports functioning together will form a powerful, mobile infrastructure capable of supporting multiple aircraft systems. These networks can cover large distances and greatly improve the transport of people and cargo, adding further ease to city and regional air travel.
Sustainability at the Core of Innovation
Combining electric flying with clean energy technology makes AutoFlight’s solution a vanguard of sustainable mobility. Using solar energy, the water-based vertiports and the eVTOLs operate within a carbon-positive transport ecosystem. This development advances international carbon reduction goals and meets the increasing need for low-impact transport.
Using developed waterways avoids the large-scale land development that comes with building new infrastructure. This design allows fields in building sep cities and regions to deploy electric aviation infrastructure on the developed waterways with ease from building sep construction in growing cities and tourist destinations.
AutoFlight’s first public demonstration showcased its vision to the rest of the world. Attendees of the event were able to experience a real-life example of low-altitude mobility. Building in-demand infrastructure in an easily accessible waterway allows for effective aviation mobility to support the economy. From a fully real-world example of low infrastructure mobility, governments, transport operators, and businesses were able to witness the capabilities of AutoFlight.
There are no other real-world examples of low-altitude mobility in the air. This event showcased to the world the unlimited potential of low altitude aviation and. low altitude mobility in supporting and driving the economy.
AutoFlight showed the world its low-altitude mobility system with a public demonstration. Providing attendees with an experience of the capabilities of low-altitude mobility, supporting their economy.
