Product overview
The EHang EH216-S is a pilotless passenger flight platform for direct point-to-point journeys along preset routes. Its electric vertical takeoff and landing architecture combines a coaxial dual-rotor power configuration with lightweight carbon fiber composite materials and sled-style landing gear. Passenger features include gull-wing doors and an ergonomic seat inspired by F1 racing cars. The aircraft stands 1.93 m high and measures 5.73 m wide. Maximum takeoff weight is 620 kg, maximum design speed is 130 km/h, and range is 30 km.
Electric propulsion works with a smart battery system and fast charging. Intelligent navigation and GNSS positioning support pilotless operation along preset flight routes, while algorithm-controlled vertical takeoff and landing removes the need for large airports or taxiways. The EH216-S exchanges data with ground stations in real time through EHang’s command-and-control system. This integration brings together centralized monitoring, dispatch, management and early warning, while command-and-control systems also manage fleet operations and intervene in emergencies to protect passengers and aircraft.
The aircraft incorporates multiple backups for key components, including its flight control and power systems. Its control architecture also uses multiple flight control systems, voting mechanisms and sensors. A built-in fail-safe system monitors aircraft health continuously and determines whether flight should continue or an emergency landing should be executed. Each aircraft uses encrypted communications with independent keys. These features accompany the passenger seating, electric propulsion and navigation systems in the EH216-S aircraft configuration, with preset routes defining its pilotless point-to-point operation.
