Chinese firm poised for (short) commercial flights by 2025
China's urban air mobility biz, EHang, has announced its EH216-S pilotless electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft has completed debut passenger flights in Thailand.
"The flights mark a milestone for expanding EHang's eVTOL flight footprint," the startup revealed on Friday. EHang claims it has flown more than 50,000 flights in total.
