EHang, a leading drone maker in China, has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining the industry's first airworthiness certificate for its EH216-S aircraft, the first domestic independently developed aircraft to receive such certification from the CAAC. This marks a pivotal moment for the commercial use of aerial taxis. The company announced that its quarterly revenue more than doubled, reflecting the growing interest and investment in the 'low-altitude economy'. The EH216-S, priced at 2.39 million yuan ($332,000), is now available for purchase on Taobao, China's largest online shopping platform. This development comes as EHang's shares surged 12.7% in the U.S. pre-market session. Additionally, EHang has entered into a partnership with the state-owned automaker GAC to develop flying cars, further cementing its position in the burgeoning sector. The aerial taxi, designed for two passengers, boasts a maximum flight altitude of 3 km and a range of 35 km. The partnership with GAC includes building a flying car plant in Guangzhou.
