As logistics operations expand into remote, mountainous, offshore, or disaster-stricken regions, the demand for powerful and intelligent aerial delivery systems continues to grow. DJI answers this challenge with DJI FlyCart 30, a next-generation heavy-lift delivery drone engineered for transporting critical payloads across difficult terrain with precision, safety, and efficiency.
In this article, we break down the capabilities and key specifications of DJI FlyCart 30 and explore how it is redefining aerial cargo transport.

Purpose-Built for Complex Delivery Missions
While capable of residential deliveries, the DJI FlyCart 30 is designed with more demanding applications in mind—such as emergency response, mountain logistics, offshore supply runs, and industrial cargo transport. The drone can carry 30 kg (extendable to 40 kg in specific configurations) making it suitable for tools, life-critical supplies, and industrial equipment needed in isolated or logistically challenging locations.
Flexible Battery Configurations for Range or Payload

DJI FlyCart 30 supports dual or single DB2000 battery configurations:
- Dual-Battery Mode: Recommended for operational safety and range. Enables flight up to 16 km with a full 30 kg payload or 28 km without payload. Flight time: 18 minutes.
- Single-Battery Mode: Reduces aircraft weight and increases carrying capacity up to 40 kg, but limits flight time to 9 minutes and range to 8 km. Ideal for urgent, high-weight emergency missions.
Each DB2000 battery (11.3 kg, 38,000 mAh) is hot-swappable, self-heating, and rated for -20° to 45°C environments. Charging is quick and efficient via the DJI C8000 Intelligent Charger, delivering full dual-battery charges in just 36.6 minutes.
The below table covers the hovering time, flight time, and flight distance of DJI FlyCart 30 across its single and dual battery configurations and payload weights.
Flight Mode | Payload Weight | Single Battery | Dual Battery |
---|---|---|---|
Hovering Endurance (empty weight, with max battery capacity) | 0 kg | 15 mins | 29 mins |
Hovering Endurance (max weight, with max battery capacity) | 30 or 40 kg | 8 mins (40 kg) | 18 mins (30 kg) |
Max Flight Distance (empty weight, with max battery capacity) | 0 kg | 12 km | 28 km |
Max Flight Distance (max weight, with max battery capacity) | 30 or 40 kg | 8 km (40 kg) | 16 km (30 kg) |
Max Flight Time (max weight, with max battery capacity) | 30 or 40 kg | 9 mins (40 kg) | 18 mins (30 kg) |

Robust Design & Dimensions
DJI FlyCart 30 is a large and heavy aircraft, weighing 65 kg with both batteries installed and maxing out at 95 kg takeoff weight with a full payload. Its unfolded footprint measures 2800 × 3085 × 947 mm, roughly the size of a small shed. However, the foldable arms and propellers allow for a compact transport configuration: 1115 × 760 × 1027 mm.
With a top flight speed of 20 m/s (72 km/h) in manual mode, FlyCart 30 is optimized for time-sensitive missions. In auto-flight (preplanned routes), max speed is 15 m/s.

Intelligent Delivery Options: Cargo Mode & Winch System
Cargo Mode (Standard Configuration)
DJI FlyCart 30 ships with a 70 L cargo case (573 × 416 × 305 mm internal volume), made of EPP and reinforced with a metal frame. Features include:
- Weight and center-of-gravity detection for balanced load
- Secure placement and retrieval of payload on landing

Winch Mode (Optional Kit)
For locations without safe landing zones, the Winch System Kit enables:
- 20-meter cable deployment at 0.8 m/s
- Automatic or manual payload release
- 40 kg maximum load capacity
- Swing Control to stabilize hanging payloads
- AR Projection of landing point on remote display
- Cable Cut Function for emergency release in case of entanglement

Navigation, Terrain Sensing & Obstacle Avoidance
DJI FlyCart 30 is equipped with advanced situational awareness systems:
- Dual Active Phased Array Radars: 1.5–50 m horizontal, up to 200 m vertical range
- Dual Binocular Vision Sensors: 90° horizontal and 106° vertical FOV
- Real-Time Terrain Sensing: Adjusts altitude to avoid ground collision
- Alternate Landing Sites: Pre-programmable for mission adaptability
The drone maintains centimeter-level precision with dual RTK modules, and hover accuracy of ±10 cm horizontally and vertically.
Emergency Systems: Parachute & Fail-Safes
Built with safety as a core priority, DJI FlyCart 30 integrates:
- Autonomous Parachute Deployment: Activates during critical failures, halts propellers, and enables a safe descent at 6 m/s (minimum 60 m altitude required)
- Independent power supply for the parachute system
- Battery redundancy in dual mode for safe return in case of battery failure

Connectivity, Control & Software Ecosystem
DJI FlyCart 30 operates with the DJI RC Plus controller, featuring:
- 7-inch high-brightness screen
- IP54 weather rating
- Customizable controls
The drone also supports Dual Operator mode. Two pilots, each with their own remote controller, can work together to operate the drone. Control permissions can be transferred from one pilot to the next, enabling flexible operations for long range missions.
Flight management is handled through DJI Pilot 2, which supports:
- Real-time cargo and aircraft status
- Pre-programmed flight routes
- Intelligent Cruise Control
- DJI DeliveryHub integration for fleet and task management via web or mobile
Video transmission is handled via O3 transmission system, providing up to 20 km range, powered by four dual-band antennas (2.4 GHz/5.8 GHz), ensuring high-resolution FPV feeds (1920×1440 at 30 fps) for navigation and situational awareness.

Operating Environment & Durability
Designed for harsh environments, DJI FlyCart 30 features:
- IP55 ingress protection
- -20°C to +45°C operating range
- Wind resistance up to 12 m/s (43 km/h)
- Corrosion-resistant body for maritime and industrial use
- Maximum safe flight altitudes:
- 6,000 m (no payload)
- 3,000 m (30 kg payload)

SDK Support & Custom Payload Integration
Developers can leverage DJI Payload SDK to integrate third-party payloads, making DJI FlyCart 30 a flexible platform for industry-specific delivery or sensing tasks. Whether you require specialized sensors, medical supply compartments, or bespoke cargo solutions, DJI FlyCart 30 provides the flexibility to innovate.
