On June 22, the EH216-S pilotless electric vertical takeoff and
landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft completed its passenger-carrying debut
flight in Wencheng, marking the launch of the cultural tourism
initiative of "Low-Altitude Tourism in Wencheng". During the flight
event, EH216-S carried multiple passengers for a low-altitude
sightseeing tour over the renowned Tianding Lake at the Baizhangji
Fall & Feiyun Lake Scenic Resort, a location offering
breathtaking views of Wencheng's natural beauty. A dedicated
takeoff and landing site and supporting amenities for the EH216-S
has been basically established at the Scenic Resort. The UAM
operation center and supporting infrastructure will be gradually
established in other areas in Wencheng as preparation for launching
EH216-S aerial sightseeing services and a benchmark for
low-altitude cultural tourism.

According to the cooperation agreement between EHang and the
Wencheng County Government, both parties will jointly develop UAM
and supporting public service ecosystem for the low-altitude
economy and explore various low-altitude commercial operations for
tourism, transportation, logistics, emergency response, and other
scenarios, thereby generating a combined effect in low-altitude
economy. Wencheng County plans to set up aerial sightseeing routes
in scenic attractions such as Tianding Lake and Baizhangji Fall
within this year and to launch pilotless eVTOL aerial sightseeing
services.
Mr. Zhaozheng Luo, Secretary of Wencheng County Government,
remarked, “This year marks an important beginning of Wencheng's
low-altitude economy development. Wencheng will fully leverage its
advantages, including its clean airspace, rich terrain, and unique
locations, to vigorously develop the low-altitude economy. By
innovating with this emerging industry, we will jointly explore new
business models with EHang, accelerating the integration ecosystem
of low-altitude applications, scenic attractions and the local
culture. Bringing low-altitude scenarios forward to flourish across
Wencheng will nurture low-altitude industries, empower diverse
business models, and refine low-altitude service management for
efficiency and safety. By achieving these goals, Wencheng aims to
become a demonstration county for high-quality low-altitude economy
development, contributing to Wenzhou's goal of reaching the GDP of
over RMB1 trillion and a resident population of over RMB10 million,
and Zhejiang's vision of becoming a pioneering civil aviation
province.”

“Following the obtainment of the Type Certificate, Standard
Airworthiness Certificate and Production Certificate for our
EH216-S, we've received a surge in bulk orders from customers and
partners globally, which is a testament of the market recognition
of our innovative pilotless eVTOL products and solutions, as well
as the robust demand for UAM and low-altitude economy development
worldwide. With the deliveries for the initial batch of orders to
Wencheng and the local debut flight of the EH216-S, we will join
with Wencheng to establish a benchmark for low-altitude economy
operations in Zhejiang Province, driving the growth of the industry
in the East China region and promoting the widespread adoption of
the new productivity enabled by pilotless eVTOLs.”
