Chinese Autonomous eVTOL EH216-S Takes to the Sky in Brazil

With Brazil added to the list of flight locations, the Chinese eVTOL manufacturer now counts more than 50,000 successful flights carried out in 17 countries. These locations span across Asia, Latin America, Europe, and North America. EHang seems determined to conquer the world with its pilotless passenger aircraft, the first of its kind to become officially certified in Oct 2023.

As for Brazil, its aeronautical region is renowned not only in the region but worldwide. Plus, in recent years, Brazil has positioned itself as one of the UAM (Urban Air Mobility) leaders in Latin America and beyond. The reputable aircraft manufacturer Embraer has turned its UAM branch into a globally successful brand – Eve Air Mobility, known for the Eve passenger air taxi. On the other hand, the Moya aircraft designed by Moya Aero became the first autonomous cargo eVTOL in Latin America.

One of the most important global partners for EHang is located in the UAE. A few months ago, the Chinese AAM company carried out one of its most spectacular flight demonstrations, with three different aircraft operating pilot-free in Abu Dhabi. The EH216-S, which is the passenger version, was accompanied by the EH216-L (the aerial logistics configuration of the company's flagship eVTOL) and the EH216-F (the firefighting configuration). These special flights confirmed the immense potential of pilotless, emission-free operations in strategic sectors.
