Introduces World's First Integrated Sea–Air Low-Altitude Mobility Solution
SUZHOU, China, Nov. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoFlight Aviation Technology, a global leader in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) innovation, has unveiled the world's first integrated sea–air solution for low-altitude mobility, combining a zero-carbon water vertiport with eVTOL aircraft to expand advanced air mobility infrastructure across rivers, lakes, and coastal zones. The solution helps move low-altitude aviation from concept to real-world deployment and supports five priority use cases: energy platform maintenance, emergency rescue, high-frequency commuter services, sea-air tourism, and networks of mobile water-based vertiports.
Zero-Carbon eVTOL Water Vertiport, Rapidly Deployable Across Waterways
AutoFlight's Zero-Carbon eVTOL Water Vertiport functions as a floating vertiport and operations center. It integrates eVTOL landing platforms, photovoltaic charging and storage, intelligent dispatch, and communication systems, enabling fast deployment without land-based construction. Its fully electric design supports take-off, landing, and charging while enabling real-time coordination with eVTOLs.
The water vertiport is compatible with AutoFlight's core models—including the industrial-grade White Shark, the 2-ton-class cargo model CarryAll, and the six-seat passenger eVTOL Prosperity—together forming a flexible, integrated land–sea–air mobility network.
Synergizing Sea and Air Across Five Key Sectors
The Sea–Air solution enhances efficiency across multiple mission profiles:
- Marine Energy Platform Maintenance: Significantly improves the speed and reliability of transporting personnel and critical parts.
- Emergency Response: Combines wide-area search with rapid eVTOL deployment, reducing response time and expanding coverage.
- High-Frequency Commuting: Enables rapid urban, coastal, and island mobility, cutting typical journeys from hours to minutes.
- Sea–Air Tourism: Adds a premium "flight+" option to high-end tourism experiences.
- Mobile Vertiport Networks: Multiple water vertiports can be networked to support high-throughput, multi-aircraft operations.
A New Paradigm for Low-Carbon Integrated Mobility
Amid growing global demand for sustainable transport, AutoFlight's water-based vertiport provides a low-impact approach to deploying urban and regional air mobility. By leveraging existing waterways, cities can rapidly deploy electric aviation infrastructure without major land development.
Developed with strategic partner CATL, the solution incorporates safe, high-performance battery systems and clean-energy technology across both eVTOLs and vertiports, supporting the development of a carbon-neutral air mobility ecosystem.
First Public Demonstration
AutoFlight conducted the first public demonstration of the Sea–Air solution at Dianshan Lake in Kunshan, where a 2-ton-class eVTOL took off from the Zero-Carbon Water Vertiport. A multi-aircraft formation flight followed, including live airdrop missions that highlighted the system's potential for emergency response and low-altitude logistics.

BEIJING, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi has officially unveiled its LONGi ONE integrated solar-plus-storage strategy, marking a transition from traditional multi-vendor architectures to a unified system design.
A Shift from Fragmentation to Integration
As solar energy establishes itself as a core pillar of the global energy system, conventional "assembled" solutions are increasingly constrained by efficiency losses, complex commissioning, and unclear accountability. LONGi ONE addresses these challenges through full-stack, self-developed native integration, combining advanced BC solar technology with 5S storage technology to deliver a unified, high-performance "Solar Generator."
One System, One Platform, One Responsibility
LONGi ONE is built upon three core principles: One System, One Platform, and One Responsibility.
Its natively integrated architecture reduces system losses, enhances performance, and shortens deployment timelines. The AI-driven platform enables coordinated optimization across generation, storage, and consumption.
Equally important, the One Responsibility principle redefines accountability in solar-storage systems. Instead of managing multiple vendors, customers work with a single partner—LONGi—across the entire lifecycle. This eliminates fragmented interfaces, avoids responsibility gaps, and ensures faster issue resolution with clear ownership.
A Comprehensive Product Portfolio
LONGi ONE delivers tailored solutions for two key market segments: utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications.
For utility-scale projects, OneBank 2.0 offers a fully integrated AC/DC storage solution featuring advanced safety design. Its proprietary iCCS technology enables millisecond-scale fault detection and isolation, reducing system-level failure rates by 60% and cutting pre-commissioning time by over 30%.
OneMatrix 2.0 provides a flexible, modular approach for plant-level deployment, supporting multiple duration scenarios (2h/4h/8h) while reducing deployment time by 20-30% and lowering lifecycle costs.
For C&I users, Hi-MO One—paired with the EnergyOne platform—delivers 24.8% module efficiency and up to 90.3% system efficiency. With response times under 20 ms and AI-driven energy management, it enables intelligent operation and optimized returns.
Global Service Network Expansion
LONGi has also launched its "2830 Plan," which aims to establish 30 localized service centers across key global markets by 2028.
Supported by 13 GWh of delivery experience across over 120 countries, this network will provide end-to-end lifecycle services, ensuring rapid, localized support worldwide.
Toward the Solar Generator Era
From monocrystalline to BC technology, and from PV to storage, LONGi remains committed to translating innovation into customer value. With LONGi ONE, the company aims to redefine solar energy as a stable and intelligent "Solar Generator"—supporting the next phase of the global energy transition.
