EHang — Passenger Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV) | Rob Vogelaar
EHang is an aerospace company focused on autonomous aerial vehicles, including some big enough to transport passengers around cities. It is one of several so-called “flying taxi” start-ups competing for investor attention, but the company has made progress working toward regulatory certification in China and has been running trials of its passenger craft.
EHang is providing safe, eco-friendly, and smart Urban Air Mobility (UAM) solutions.
The technology of autonomous flight eliminates the possibility of failure or malfunction caused by man-made errors. Without any concern about controlling or operating the aircraft, the passengers can just sit and enjoy the journey.
Flight routes will be surveyed in advance to preset multiple feasible plans for the user. EHang AAV uses 4G/5G as the high-speed wireless transmission channel to communication smoothly with the command-and-control center, thus enabling remote control of the aircraft and real-time transmission of flight data.
EHang AAV uses electric power to reduce environmental harm caused by emission. The aircraft can be fully charged in two hours. The charging devices can communicate in real time with the aircraft Battery Management System (BMS).
