EHang Holdings Limited announced the inauguration of its first\nEuropean UAM Center in Spain. Located inside the Lleida\u2013Alguaire International\nAirport (\u201cLEDA\u201d), the center represents the first-of-its-kind in Europe for\nunmanned electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, setting a\nbenchmark globally for the effective integration of eVTOL aircraft operation\nwith airport infrastructure, air traffic management systems, operational\nprocedures, and other information technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inception of this UAM center, a globally pioneering\ninitiative, arises from the collaboration agreement signed between EHang and\nAeroports de Catalunya in the field of UAM and will enable European aviation\nand airport sectors to be positioned at the forefront of global Advanced Air\nMobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 13th, 2023, the Civil Aviation Administration of\nChina (CAAC) issued the Type Certificate (TC) for EHang\u2019s EH216-S\npassenger-carrying Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) System. An unprecedented\nmilestone in the aviation industry, the EH216-S is the first unmanned eVTOL in\nthe world to obtain TC and be qualified for commercial passenger-carrying UAV\noperations in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EH216-S deployed at EHang\u2019s European UAM Center will\nfoster the accumulation of operational experience as well as invaluable\nknowledge. By integrating vast flight experience gathered from various\nlocations worldwide, this collective information can be leveraged to the\ndevelopment of technological solutions, regulations, processes and procedures\nfor the safe and efficient integration of eVTOL aircraft into European airspace\nin the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAM Center includes a vertiport that is fully compliance\nwith EASA\u2019s design criteria and will enable seamlessly incorporation with the\nairport terminal, platform, control tower, equipment, procedures and\nregulations. This state-of-the-art vertiport will set a benchmark for global\nUAM infrastructure and accumulate a vast amount of knowledge and expertise on\nthe vertiport establishment and operations, which will enable intelligent eVTOL\noperating models and facilitate their smart deployment across multiple\nlocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Marc Sanglas, Secretary of Mobility and Infrastructure\nof Catalonian Government in Spain, commented, \u201cWe are especially proud of the\ncooperation with EHang, a leading technology company in the development of\nunmanned aerial vehicles in the world, to whom we are grateful for having\nchosen our international airport as their first European UAM Center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Victoria Xiang, COO of EHang Europe and Latin America,\ncommented, \u201cEHang\u2019s European UAM Center was initially conceived for supporting\nthe Company\u2019s operations and activities under SESAR-JU\u2019s U-ELCOME and EUSPA\u2019s\nSAMVA projects. In addition, we are looking at scaling its applications to\nadvance innovative air mobility projects as well as EASA\u2019s certification and\nairworthiness requirements to further promote industry development and make UAM\na reality in Europe, which is a future we are looking forward to creating.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
