China’s EHang on Monday said it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Hong Kong-based aerospace engineering and maintenance company Haeco that calls for the companies to cooperate in several areas of joint interest such as manufacturing and assembly, continued airworthiness, digital platforms, aircraft maintenance, and talent training. The companies plan to co-develop systems and products that cater to the needs of continued airworthiness and after-sales maintenance services in preparation for the commercial operation of the EH216-S, EHang’s passenger-grade autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV).
“Advanced air mobility is a blooming new segment in the aviation industry,” commented Haeco group director for airframe services Jacqueline Jiang. “We are excited to take part and look forward to developing this together with EHang. With over 70 years of experience in the industry and offering a wide range of aviation products and services, Haeco is well positioned to support EHang and jointly develop the systems, standards, and services required in advanced air mobility.”
