Flying drone taxi maker EHang receives another regulatory green light in China

Chinese drone maker EHang has received safety approval certification from China’s aviation authority for its unmanned passenger copters. The certification, known as ‘type certification,’ was granted for EHang’s 216-S model, which can carry two passengers at speeds of 130 km/h for a range of 30 km. However, the company still needs an operation permit before commercial activities can commence.
