EHang’s EH216-S eVTOL manned drone has successfully completed the first passenger flights in Thailand at Bangkok’s Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. This electric aircraft is capable of vertical take-off and landing, thus eliminating the need for traditional airport runways.
Plus, the EH216-S can be used for point-to-point air transportation in city centers, effectively alleviating Thailand’s issues with ground traffic congestion. The country is also known for its many islands and abundant tourism resources, making the EH216-S a viable solution for island-hopping air transportation services.
