Indonesia grants world-first overseas certification validation to AutoFlight eVTOL

AutoFlight's V2000CG CarryAll has achieved a significant milestone by receiving a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) in Indonesia, marking it as the first electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to obtain such certification outside of its home country. This certification, formally issued by Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), verifies that the V2000CG meets the airworthiness standards set by both the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the Indonesian aviation authority. This development underscores the growing international recognition and compliance of innovative aviation technologies, paving the way for broader acceptance and integration of eVTOL aircraft in global airspace.
