EHang Deploys eVTOL Aircraft in Chinese Covid Containment Effort
EHang is providing support to officials in China's Guangdong provinces who are trying to reverse a resurgence in Covid-19 infections. Several of its eVTOL aircraft and drones are being operated from a base in Guangzhou.
EHang has deployed its EH216 and EH216L eVTOL aircraft to support efforts to contain a resurgence of Covid-19 infections in China’s Guangdong province. For nearly two weeks, a flight operations team with several of the all-electric, autonomous aircraft, plus some of the Chinese manufacturer’s smaller Falcon B drones, has been made available to support local health officials in what they describe as “epidemic prevention and control efforts.”
The aircraft have been operating from a base in Guangzhou City since June 4. They have been used for tasks including aerial logistics, emergency transportation, aerial inspections and broadcasting, and deliveries of household supplies to quarantined residents.
