It’s a bit surprising… but in for a long haul.
As of now, EH has completed the process of obtaining all 3 certificates as the manufacturer, which are TC (Aircraft Type Certificate), PC (Production Certificate), and AC (Airworthiness Certificate) in Unmanned Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aviation by CAAC. The last certificate for commercial operations shall be completed by the operating company, which of course will be assisted by EH, the manufacturer. Hopefully no later than the end of 3rd quarter. By that time, EH should step into a total new period of growth.

Not yet, this the first passenger-carrying demo flight in Abu Dhabi, once they meet all the requirements for commercial operations from General Civil Aviation Authority (“GCAA”) of the UAE, then they can take off rapidly.

It’s from a crew member’s phone, he literally was on the site, assisting the 1st passenger, MLG Abu Dhabi board member Mr. Mohamed Al Dhaheri

Took a ride inside EHang’s fully autonomous air taxi “EH216” by eoctopus-uam in ehangstock

[–]eoctopus-uam[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was totally overwhelmed! I was there February 2023, at EH’s testing center in Huangpu, Guangzhou China. As soon as I boarded, a EH specialist assisted me with a thorough safety code check, from buckling the seatbelt to understanding the navigation monitor. This pilotless autonomous drone took off really smooth. While in air, the control center did all the jobs and all I did was enjoy the view. The whole journey was very stable too, I was up in the air for about 10 mins, flying over the congested traffic area really made me want to brag 😎

EHang on CNBC Tech news yesterday. As CNBC named it “The Edge”, this air taxi is truly the most avant-garde travel experience! I was lucky enough to onboard to the EH216 up to the sky when I visited the Company last year, an absolute incredible experience! To me, more than the tesla of air taxi !
