About certification
The world’s first passenger-carrying eVTOL unmanned aircraft to
receive all three airworthiness certificates (TC, PC, and AC).
receive all three airworthiness certificates (TC, PC, and AC).
The EH216-S is a flagship passenger-carrying pilotless electric vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft
developed by EHang, responding to the application needs of short- to medium-distance low-altitude air mobility in urban
areas. It is widely applicable in scenarios such as passenger transportation, aerial sightseeing, logistics, and medical
emergency. This product adheres to the core design concepts of pilotless flight, full backup safety design, and
intelligent command-and-control center’s centralized management. It does not require a pilot, and passengers only need
to select a flight destination to enjoy the journey and arrive directly at the destination. The EH216-S has obtained the
world’s first passenger-carrying pilotless eVTOL aircraft type certificate (“TC”), production certificate (“PC”), and
standard airworthiness certificate (“AC”) issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“CAAC”).

The world’s first commercially operable pilotless human-carrying aircraft
In 2025, EHang’s EH216-S eVTOL operators were granted the first batch of Air Operator Certificates (“OC”) for civil
pilotless human-carrying aircraft by the Civil Aviation Administration of China ("CAAC"). This achievement marks a
significant step toward the commercialization and mass adoption of low-altitude human-carrying flight services. EHang is
collaborating with more partners to gradually expand and increase commercial operation sites. They are establishing
additional low-altitude air mobility operation centers in Guangzhou, Hefei, and other regions across China. This
initiative supports local operators in obtaining air operator certificates for civil pilotless human-carrying aircraft.

The EH216-S achieves precise vertical takeoff and landing through integrated
algorithms, eliminating the need for large airports, taxiways, and other
traditional infrastructure. This meets the needs of urban air mobility, helping to
alleviate the current congestion on urban roads.

Centralized dispatching and management
EHang’s intelligent command-and-control system features five core functions,
including monitoring, dispatching,management, early warning, and centralizing.
Utilizing a high-speed communication network, it enables real-time remote data
transmission and interaction with EH216-S passenger-carrying unmanned aircraft
and ground control stations. This ensures safe and efficient planning and management
of the aircraft, achieving intuitive and comprehensive intelligent management.
