EHang this month expanded efforts to demonstrate the viability of multi-role operations with its autonomous EH215-S eVTOL aircraft by conducting demonstration sightseeing flights in China’s main business city, Shanghai. Nine months after the manufacturer received its production certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), it is delivering aircraft to Chinese customers as it waits for the regulator to issue the operational certificates needed for commercial flights.

Beginning in Shanghai on January 16, the demonstration flights were conducted with local partner Hynfar Aviation and based at the former Longhua Airfield on the banks of the Huangpu River.
