At an event in Guangzhou on April 7, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issue a production certificate to EHang for its two-seat EH216-S eVTOL aircraft.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has issued a production certificate to EHang, clearing the way for the company to start large-scale series production of its EH216-S autonomous eVTOL aircraft. The approval, which was announced at an event in Guangzhou on Sunday, was granted just under six months after EHang became the first eVTOL manufacturer in the world to achieve type certification—on October 13.

Notably, the production certificate is based on EHang’s quality management system covering raw materials used to make the aircraft, as well as processes for controlling production in-house and with suppliers. It also includes quality control processes, pre-delivery tests for the EH216-S, and after-sales maintenance, repair, and overhaul work.
