The Ehang is a Cool Autonomous Aerial Vehicle

Ehang 216, is an electrical vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV), designed to address the urban transport needs, by providing on-demand air taxi services.

The AAV is developed by Chinese autonomous aircraft developer Ehang, which entered a partnership, with Austria-based aeronautical systems manufacturer FACC, in November 2018, for the serial production of the aircraft.

Ehang 216 was introduced to the public, for the first time, at the 4Gamechangers Festival, held in April 2019 in Vienna, Austria.

The applications of the Ehang 216 aircraft include public transportation, tourism and sight-seeing, medical evacuation - aid, and short distance logistics.

The Ehang 216 aircraft was developed based on its predecessor Ehang 184. Demonstration flights of 216, were conducted in Qatar and the Netherlands in 2018, while the certification process is currently underway. The aircraft is expected to enter serial production in 2022.

Ehang 216 AAV is a low-altitude, high-power, self-driving aircraft made using carbon composite material, and metals to achieve the required strength-to-weight ratio.

The length of the aircraft is 5.61m, height is 1.76m, and kerb weight is 360kg. The aircraft is capable of carrying payloads of up to 260kg.

Ehang 216 features a small aero-cab structure, which can accommodate up to two passengers, with sufficient leg room and baggage space. Its fuselage is supported by rigid skid-type landing gear, which ensures sufficient clearance between the ground and the rotors.

The aircraft can perform fully autonomous flight, using the on-board advanced flight control system, intelligent navigation system, and a global positioning system (GPS).

The Ehang 216 AAV is powered by 16 electric motors, which are connected to 16 propeller blades in coaxial double-baled design.
The electric engine on board the aircraft enables a cruise speed of 130km/h. The minimum flight duration of the aircraft is 30 minutes, while the maximum flight range is 35km.
