Early deliveries of its autonomous two-seat EH216-S eVTOL aircraft boosted EHang’s revenues in the fourth quarter of 2023. Having secured type certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on October 13, the Guangzhou-based company is still awaiting clearance for the production certificate needed to advance to higher-volume series production but managed to deliver 23 aircraft in the last three months of last year.

According to EHang, the CAAC review team has completed onsite inspections at its factory and all the required quality system files have been submitted for final review. The company told financial analysts it has now delivered 52 EH216-S aircraft to early customers under an airworthiness certificate issued by the Chinese regulator (compared with 21 units in 2022).
