EHang

EHang is a Chinese manufacturer of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, specialising in autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) for passenger transport and logistics. The firm operates at the intersection of urban air mobility (UAM) and autonomous systems, holding specific type certifications from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for pilotless operations. It develops the integrated hardware and software stacks required for short-to-medium-range urban flights. The organisation’s flagship platform is the EH216-S, a multi-rotor autonomous aircraft designed for aerial tourism and medical emergency transport. It has established partnerships with municipal governments and private operators in China, the Middle East, and Europe to develop flight corridors and command-and-control infrastructure. Customers primarily include regional tourism operators and emergency response agencies seeking to automate low-altitude logistics and passenger services. Prospective partners or buyers should verify the status of operational approvals and airworthiness certifications in their specific jurisdiction, as CAAC certification does not automatically grant access to international airspace. It is essential to assess the local requirements for remote command-and-control infrastructure and the availability of 5G or satellite data links necessary for the aircraft's autonomous flight management system.
