EHang Holdings Limited announced today that their EH216-S passenger carrying unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system has received a type certificate (TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). This basically means that the EH216-S is qualified for conducting passenger-carrying UAV commercial operations.
The TC is the first issued for unmanned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), thus setting a benchmark for the airworthiness certification of innovative eVTOLs in China and overseas. To date, EHang has conducted 500 specific test items and 40,000 test flights for the EH216-S, resulting in adjustments covering 65 major categories.

Embracing the TC as our springboard, we will launch commercial operations of the EH216-S unmanned eVTOLs, prioritizing safety above all. This will enable us to steadily progress towards our strategic goal to be a UAM platform operator, and commit to our mission to enable safe, autonomous, and eco-friendly air mobility accessible to everyone,” said Mr. Huazhi Hu, Founder, Chairman and CEO of EHang.
