The DJI FlyCart is a series of delivery drones released by the Chinese technology company DJI.

Design and development

[edit]
The FlyCart 30 is similar to the Agras T50 agricultural drone.

The first model, the FlyCart 30, was announced by DJI and introduced in China in August 2023, with a global launch following in January 2024.[1][2] The FlyCart 30, which is similar to the company's Agras T50 agricultural drone, is a folding octo-quad multirotor with eight motors; two mounted on each of its four arms.[1][3][4] The drone can carry a 30 kg (66 lb) payload with two batteries installed, though this can be increased to 40 kg (88 lb) with one of the batteries removed.[5] The FlyCart 30's avionics include a visual obstacle avoidance system, forward and backward-looking phased array radars, and an ADS-B receiver.[5][6][7] The drone also has an IP55 protection rating and an emergency parachute.[5] Payload delivery can be accomplished using one of two methods; a cargo crate or a winch, the latter designed for scenarios in which the aircraft is unable to land safely.[8][9] The FlyCart 30 has a gimbal-stabilized camera and an O3 video transmission system.[4][10] Power is provided by up to two 38000 mAh DB2000 batteries, giving the drone a maximum flight time of 29 minutes unloaded or 18 minutes with a full payload.[7]

A larger model was introduced in June 2025 as the FlyCart 100, which was certified with the FCC alongside the Agras T100.[11][12] The drone has an increased payload of 80 kg (176 lb) with a single battery or 65 kg (143 lb) with two batteries.[11] The FlyCart 100 has lidar and fisheye lens obstacle avoidance sensors, complementing its visual and radar sensors, and the video transmission system was upgraded to an O4 unit.[11][13][14] Power is provided by up to two DB2160 batteries.[11]

Operational history

[edit]

In April 2024, the DJI conducted a delivery test with FlyCart 30 at Mount Everest. During the test, the drone was used to transport 15 kg (33 lb) of supplies from South Base Camp to Camp 1 in sub-zero conditions before returning with the latter's waste.[15][16][17]

In January 2025, the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAA) issued a notice to FlyCart 30 and Agras T50 operators about a manufacturing defect that could cause the aircraft's composite arms to delaminate. The CAA advised operators to visually inspect the arms of the aircraft every six months.[18]
