EHang Holdings, a leading advanced air mobility technology platform company, has launched a global fast track program, a structured and accelerated pathway for the assessment and introduction of pilotless electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOL, operations in international markets.
Built upon EHang's complete certifications for pilotless passenger eVTOL aircraft, its commercial operating experience in China, and proven safe flight records across 23 countries and regions, the program is expected to enable international civil aviation authorities and partners to streamline certification and commercial roll-out for pilotless eVTOL operations, according to the company.
The program is divided into a replicable, four-phase roadmap, including framework alignment, establishment of site, infrastructure and ground operational system, validation flights and commercial launch, aiming to enable authorities to move from validation to commercialization more efficiently based on an already-certified aircraft.
The program will serve as a breakthrough for unlocking international eVTOL markets, said Hu Huazhi, founder, chairman and CEO of EHang.
