EHang has revealed a suggested retail price of $410,000 for its EH216-S pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL aircraft in global markets outside of China, effective from April 1st, 2024.

The EH216-S distinguishes itself through its autonomous flight capabilities, fully electric propulsion, comprehensive redundancy safety features, and intelligent command-and-control systems for cluster management. According to EHang, these attributes make it an ideal solution for various UAM applications, including air taxi services, aerial tourism, airport shuttles, and cross-island transportation. 

According to EHang, the EH216-S made a significant milestone by securing the world’s first Type Certificate and Standard Airworthiness Certificate for pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL aircraft from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in 2023. This achievement is said to underscore EHang’s unwavering commitment to safety and quality, endorsed by a national aviation authority.

By offering a competitive price globally for the EH216-S, the company aims to meet the escalating demands of international markets and drive widespread adoption of this innovative aircraft.
