DJI FlyCart 30 – payload, range, applications, and real capabilities of a transport drone

DJI FlyCart 30 is a heavy-duty enterprise transport drone with a payload capacity of up to 30 kg (dual battery) or 40 kg (single battery), a range of 16 km with a full load, and two delivery modes: a 70 L cargo box and a winch for non-landing drops. It features IP55 rating, built-in parachute, ADS-B, and RTK ±10 cm. This is an operational tool, not a gadget.

Dual battery vs single battery: Most operations use the dual battery mode (30 kg) — it provides greater range and power redundancy: a single battery failure does not end the mission. Single battery (40 kg) is only worthwhile when every kilogram of payload is crucial.

Real-world applications — where FlyCart 30 truly pays off

DJI FlyCart 30 in the field

Rescue and emergency services — the greatest potential

In a rescue operation, every minute counts. A helicopter has a reaction time of 20–40 minutes and costs several thousand zlotys per hour. FlyCart 30 takes off in mere seconds, delivering AEDs, first aid kits, or climbing equipment directly to the victim — without the need for a landing spot (20m winch). This can be the difference between life and death during a heart attack in mountainous terrain.

Logistics in challenging terrain

Where a journey takes 3 hours, FlyCart 30 arrives in 12 minutes. 30 kg means: tools for a service crew, spare parts for a power generator, food and water for a team working in an isolated location. No road, no vehicle, no landing infrastructure needed.

Energy and linear infrastructure

Delivering components directly to power poles, wind turbines or bridge spans — with RTK ±10 cm and Swing Control (suspended load stabilization) the cargo lands exactly where needed. It eliminates costly crane and helicopter rentals for service work.

Construction — vertical transport without a crane

On multi-story construction sites or in difficult terrain, a crane is not always an option. 30 kg means a complete set of power tools, a bag of cement, or finishing materials delivered directly to a specific floor or roof — without engaging a crane operator.

FlyCart 30 vs. Helicopter vs. Ground Transport

Solution Reaction Time Operational Cost Terrain Accessibility Delivery without landing
DJI FlyCart 30 Tens of seconds Low Very High Yes (20m winch)
Off-road vehicle Tens of minutes – hours Low Limited (roads) No
Helicopter 20–40 min Very High (3000–8000 PLN/h) High Yes (rope)

FlyCart 30 bridges the gap between a car and a helicopter — speed comparable to a helicopter, operational cost like an off-road vehicle.

Safety System

The FlyCart 30 is not a hobby platform — every element of its safety system is designed for operation in public spaces with heavy loads:

  • Built-in parachute — activation from 60 m altitude, descent at 6 m/s (not 1 second as in original — that is electronics reaction time)
  • Dual phase active radar (front + rear) — works at night and in fog
  • Binocular vision system — obstacle avoidance
  • ADS-B In — detection of manned aircraft
  • RTK ±10 cm (H and V) — precise landing at a designated point
  • AES-256 transmission encryption
  • 6-second propeller start delay + two-stage landing confirmation

Who is the DJI FlyCart 30 for?

The FlyCart 30 is a tool for organizations facing a real challenge with transport in difficult terrain and looking for a solution cheaper than a helicopter, and faster than a vehicle: fire departments, mountain rescue (GOPR/TOPR), military and special services, energy and service companies, construction companies, and critical infrastructure operators.
