Against the record

EH216-S, from EHang, is at stage 5 of 5 on our ladder: regulator-cleared or mass market. Cleared where approval applies, or widely sold. The latest milestone on its record is from 26 Aug 2026: EHang withdrew its 2026 revenue forecast. After a serious crash of a different, piloted small plane in China in late June, regulators became more cautious and slowed passenger approvals.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

Mike Balfour, Chairman of the Board of Fidelity China Special Situations Fund (FCSS), visited EHang and took an immersive PILOTLESS flight experience aboard the EH216-S. He was impressed by its smooth and stable flight, spacious panoramic visibility, and the stunning views of the river from above.
