EHang’s pilotless EH216‑S Takes First Public Flight at Hong Kong Cyberport
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
EHang’s EH216-S, a pilotless human-carrying eVTOL, has completed its first public flight at Hong Kong Cyberport under the HKSAR Government’s Low-Altitude Economy “Regulatory Sandbox X” Trial Project. The flight marks an important step toward validating regular low-altitude operations and advancing a three-dimensional transportation network across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. #EHang #EH216S #eVTOL #AAM #HongKong #LowAltitudeEconomy
