EHang has achieved a significant milestone by securing the world's first Production Certificate for a pilotless eVTOL, the EH216-S, from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). This achievement marks the completion of obtaining all three crucial airworthiness certificates within six months, including the Type Certificate and Production Certificate. The issuance of this certificate by CAAC paves the way for the mass production of the EH216-S, an autonomous two-seater aircraft, aligning with government-backed Urban Air Mobility (UAM) plans. The approval is expected to significantly ramp up commercial operations of the homegrown eVTOL aircraft. Following this news, EHang's stock saw a 6.9% increase in pre-market trading, as reported by SI.
