The aircraft carried fresh fruit, emergency medicine, and other supplies. After taking off from a land takeoff and landing site in Shenzhen, it completed a 58-minute cross-sea flight and landed at Platform 19-3 in Huizhou, 150 kilometers from the coast, successfully completing its delivery mission.

The eVTOL features a composite wing structure. It has a range of 200km, a top speed of 200kph, and a payload capacity of 400kg. It could become a reliable equipment for the offshore oil industry.
