Spain’s Air Media Service of the National Police announced this week that they have certified the EHang EH216 manned drone, which they named ‘Megadron’, for law enforcement use. It’s capable of flying for 21-minutes on a single charge and reach a top speed of 80mph, powered by 16 independent rotors mounted in pairs around the passenger cabin.

To date, EHang has conducted over 30,000 trial flights, including several that have carried passengers as well as tests in extreme environments like high altitudes, typhoons, deserts as well as heavy fog. The collected data, experience and safe records have been compiled to support demonstration and verification of compliance with various agencies around the world. NASA’s Langley Aerodrome No.8 is a drone you probably won’t get certified anytime soon.

The application of AAVs in emergency, national security matters and the fight against the pandemic is crucial and advantageous for the public sector. Autonomous, sustainable, and efficient mobility enables the authorities to execute their tasks in an environmentally friendly manner. EHang and the Spanish National Police will work jointly to leverage this cutting-edge technology to benefit citizens and society,” said Victoria Xiang, the CEO of EHang Spain & LATAM.
