FINANCE, TAXES, INSURANCE Increased eVTOL Aircraft Deliveries Boost EHang's Bottom Line 49 of its two-seat autonomous aircraft were delivered in the second quarter of 2024 EHang recently delivered the first of 10 EH216-S eVTOL aircraft ordered by Xishan Tourism in China.
By Charles Alcock • Managing Editor
EHang has achieved its highest number of deliveries to date with its two-seat EH216-S autonomous eVTOL aircraft. Reporting financial results for the second quarter, the Chinese company said it delivered 49 vehicles in the three months to June 30, which was almost twice the 26 it recorded in the first quarter of this year.
Deliveries of the aircraft that achieved type certification with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in October 2023 were a big boost to EHang’s revenues. These reached RMB 102 million ($14 million) in the second quarter, which was a 65.3% increase over the first three months of this year.
The ramp-up in cash flow, which was positive for the third successive quarter, helped the company to reduce its net loss by 5.4% to RMB 71.6 million, albeit with its operating loss increasing by 2.8% to RMB 77.4 million. As of June 30, its cash reserves stood at RMB 988.2 million. The company reported that it raised a further RMB 554.1 million through an equity offering, which has now closed.
Air Operator Certificates In Process
During the second quarter, EHang received its production certificate from the CAAC, allowing it to increase manufacturing rates. In July, the CAAC accepted the application for an air operator certificate (AOC) submitted jointly by EHang General Aviation and its partner Hefei Heyi Aviation.
The company reported that it expects to secure the approval it needs to expand pilotless commercial flights later this year, and said that other customers and partners are now preparing AOC applications. Under special permits, EHang has been able to conduct public demonstration flights, including some with passengers on board.
In recent months, the Guangzhou-based manufacturer logged new EH216-S orders from Chinese customers including Xishan Tourism and the government of Wencheng County in Zhejiang province. It has also reported various conditional purchase plan agreements for the aircraft, with the latest of these being with KC Smart Mobility for tourism services in Hong Kong, Macau, and Hubei province.
“We are committed to launching commercial operations of the EH216-S in the near future, which will usher in a new phase of growth focused on intra-city mobility,” said EHang’s founder, chairman, and CEO Huazhi Hu. “At the same time, we will meet diversified urban air mobility demand through ongoing research, development, and testing of advanced technologies, upgraded components, and new models, such as our lift-and-cruise [VT-30] eVTOL designed for inter-city mobility.”

EHang's Pilotless eVTOL Air Operator Certificate Application Accepted by CAAC
July 22, 2024 10:30 ET??GUANGZHOU, China, July 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), the world’s leading urban air mobility (“UAM”) technology platform company, today announced that the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“CAAC”) has formally accepted the Air Operator Certificate (“AOC” or “OC”) applications submitted by Guangdong EHang General Aviation Co., Ltd. (“EHang General Aviation”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary specializing in UAM operation services, and Hefei Heyi Aviation Co., Ltd. (“Heyi Aviation”), its joint venture company in Hefei. This marks the commencement of the review process for the applicants’ business license and operational qualification for pilotless passenger-carrying aerial vehicles, with consensus reached on review procedures, subjects, and frameworks. The CAAC has established a specialized review team to move forward the subsequent review process.
As the world's first project for the OC of pilotless passenger-carrying electric vertical takeoff and landing ("eVTOL") aircraft, this milestone is paving the way for the establishment of the world's first commercial operation standard system for passenger-carrying eVTOL, which will lay a solid foundation for the commercial operation of EHang's EH216-S. In addition to EHang General Aviation and Heyi Aviation, EHang's partners in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Taiyuan, and Wuxi are also
Similar to the previous type certification process, the OC certification for EH216-S pilotless passenger-carrying aerial vehicle cannot directly follow the existing standards in civil aviation field, but rather requires innovation and improvement based on current regulations to establish a new and applicable standard. In March, the CAAC issued a Consultation Notice on the Application and Issuance of Operator Certificate under the Civil Aviation Regulations Part 92, aiming to ensure a smooth implementation of the Rules on the Safety Management of Civil Unmanned Aircraft (CCAR-92) . It clarifies the OC application procedures and requirements, standardizes the scope and key points of operational safety assessments, and refines operational management requirements. Leveraging EHang’s extensive operational data and practical experience, the Company is actively collaborating with the CAAC to develop EH216-S operational standards, which will provide a reference basis for the world's first commercial operation regulatory system for pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOLs.
In May of this year, the group standard "Technical Requirements for eVTOL Aircraft Landing Sites", primarily drafted and initiated by EHang, was released. This standard provides clear guidelines on the technical parameters of eVTOL aircraft landing sites, including physical characteristics, obstacle limitations, site selection, structural design, and specialized facilities. As China's first technical specification for eVTOL aircraft landing sites, it will serve as a reference basis for the development of eVTOL industry standards in China and will also make a significant contribution to commercial operations of EHang eVTOLs.
Recently, Song Zhiyong, CAAC Administrator, stated that China's low-altitude economy is entering a new phase of rapid growth. As the industry regulatory authority, the CAAC will prioritize five key areas of focus, including the construction of unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) demonstration zones, the development of airworthiness certification capabilities, the certification of OC, planning and construction of airport facilities, and the establishment of low-altitude flight service support system.
Huazhi Hu, Founder, Chairman and CEO of EHang, commented, “We are collaborating with the CAAC to establish a new operation system for pilotless aerial vehicles, which will once again achieve a breakthrough in the global civil aviation industry. The formal acceptance of the world's first pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL OC application has significant implications for the eVTOL industry. From obtaining the world's first type certification, production certificate, and standard airworthiness certificate for a pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL, to enter into OC certification, we are pleased to have received high recognition from the CAAC and are one step closer to realizing our goal of commercial operation of unmanned passenger-carrying aerial vehicles, representing the final step for urban air mobility entering the consumer market. We look forward to the issuance of the world's first commercial operation standard and the first OC for pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL , which will bring low-altitude economy accessible to the public."

Astro Aerospace Announces Horizon Aircraft's 200th Successful eVTOL Flight
Horizon continues test flights of the Cavorite X5's sub-scale prototype as it prepares for Astro's acquisition
Dallas, Texas – March 18, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Astro Aerospace (OTCQB: ASDN) ("Company" or "Astro"), a leading manufacturer of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aerial vehicles and drones, announced today that more than 200 test flights have been successfully completed on a sub-scale prototype of the Cavorite X5, a five-seater hybrid-electric eVTOL. Horizon Aircraft ("Horizon"), a Canadian company leading in the global aerospace industry, has designed, engineered and overseen all testing of the Cavorite X5.
On February 18, Astro announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Horizon to accelerate Astro's Alta and Elroy programs, one of the first modern eVTOL aircraft to fly with people on board. Astro's existing roots in the industry and high-calibre expertise, combined with Horizon's engineering competencies, is expected to position the Company to be one of the leaders in the eVTOL market. Astro expects to complete the acquisition of Horizon in April.
The primary objective for the sub-scale eVTOL prototype's test flights is to verify aerodynamics, control systems and transition flight. The Cavorite X5 features fully autonomous self-learning auto pilot software and an array of specialized 3D-printed lifting fans in the wings that provide additional thrust for vertical takeoff and landing. For vertical flight, the wing surfaces retract to open its ducted fans before closing again, maximizing the craft's aerodynamic efficiency.
Horizon Co-Founder and CEO Brandon Robinson stated, "Completing more than 200 test flights is extremely exciting for the entire teams at both Horizon and Astro. Soon, our merged company will have the, capital and resources to bring our extensively tested Cavorite to-market, offering urban centers a reliable, comfortable and high-efficiency eVTOL."
The full-scale Cavorite X5, which will travel up to an estimated 450 km/h with a 500-kilometre range, is designed for reduced hydrocarbon emissions, poor weather, traffic avoidance, and low-time pilots. The patented fan-in-wing allows the Cavorite to be the world's first eVTOL that can fly the majority of its mission exactly like a normal aircraft.
"The testing of the Cavorite X5's sub-scale prototype has exemplified to the global eVTOL market that Horizon's engineered design is the new standard," said Astro CEO Bruce Bent. "The soon-to-be completed acquisition of Horizon is expected to add tremendous value to the combined entity as we move towards the expected commercial launch of the X5 into the growing $46.7 Billion eVTOL aircraft market."
