EHang’s EH216 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle this week completed its participation in the European Union’s Air Mobility Urban-Large Experimental Demonstration (AMU-LED), with a series of flight tests in Spain. The Chinese company, which is one of 16 consortium members involved in the program, demonstrated its two-seat eVTOL aircraft at the Rozas Airborne Research Center, which is part of Spain’s National Institute of Aerospace Technology.

The AMU-LED project is focused on work that includes the validation of a concept of operations for urban air mobility. Flight data from the EH216 was integrated into the project team’s U-space platform for uncrewed air traffic management (ATM). It demonstrated conflict-management procedures during flight and on approach to a vertiport.
