As the world’s first uncrewed passenger aircraft certified for commercial operations (e.g., CAAC airworthiness approval), the EH216-S enables legal, scalable commercial deployment—eliminating compliance barriers for professional operators.
Equipped with a fully redundant power, flight control, and sensing system, it automatically switches to backup modules in case of faults, delivering 99.99%+ flight safety reliability critical for professional air mobility services.
Its vertical takeoff/landing (VTOL) design removes reliance on runways, enabling quick turnaround (≤15 mins per flight) and flexible deployment—boosting daily operational capacity for urban transit or tourism operators.
The EH216-S enables seamless river-crossing transit and maintains stable, safe operations even in adverse weather conditions, safeguarding uninterrupted service for commercial urban air mobility and cross-water scenic routes.
