EHang Holdings Limited has today announced that its EHang Unmanned Aircraft Cloud System (“UACS”) has been officially approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“CAAC”) for UACS trial operations.
EHang UACS features functions of management of airspace, UAVs, flight plans and operators, etc., enabling cluster management of multiple aircrafts within the same airspace, and ensuring safer and more reliable operations, according to the company. “The approval letter issued by the CAAC signifies that EHang’s UACS meets relevant civil aviation standards in China. In the commercial operations of EH216-S after obtaining its type certificate, EHang’s UACS will also become a crucial component.
“Currently, EHang has laid out comprehensive strategies for future commercial operations. Over the past two years, the Company has carried out trial operations under the CAAC’s guidance alongside the application of the type certification. During such two-year period, EHang has conducted over 9,300 successful low-altitude tourism flight trials in 20 locations across 18 cities in China, include Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Zhaoqing, and Sanya, among others. During this process, a professional and well-trained AAV operation team have been cultivated with a digital platform developed for Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) operation management and services, thus accumulating multifaceted, feasible and replicable trial operation experience.”
