French Journalist Experiences EHang Drone in Guangzhou
Asia - EHang Intelligent is a global leading urban air mobility technology company. In the previous year, the Civil Aviation Administration of China's South Region issued the world's first unmanned manned aircraft production license to EHang Intelligent Holding Co., Ltd., headquartered in Guangzhou. After that, commercial flights will operate in cities such as Guangzhou and Hefei. French TV Channel One journalist Luisa personally experienced it and tried the electric autonomous driving aircraft in Guangzhou, which we commonly call "air taxi".
French TV Channel One reported that there is no pilot or control devices in the cockpit of the air taxi... but before boarding, a quick safety check is required. Technicians conducted a detailed inspection of the plane. The route has been pre-set by software and will be automatically executed. If any technical problems occur in the air, the ground technical team can intervene at any time.
EHang Intelligent Vice President He Tianxing told French TV Channel One reporter that this is a very cost-effective flight mode. The French journalist said that this drone has 16 propellers. Even if several of the propellers stop running, it can continue to fly. The drone is powered by batteries and can fly for up to 25 minutes.
EHang Intelligent Vice President He Tianxing enthusiastically told the French journalist, "The route that this drone flies over will become a tourist route." He also added that he believes in the near future, French tourists can also take such air taxis to look down on the Eiffel Tower and tour the most beautiful places in Paris.
French TV Channel One journalist reported that in China, the tourism route will be launched by the end of this year. The company's goal is to gradually replace cars with its autonomous drone products, allowing people to return home from the airport, and even travel between two cities.
EHang Intelligent Vice President He Tianxing also explained that a 300-kilometer journey can use this cost-effective flight mode. He said, "Since everything is electric and thanks to digitalization, about 10 people on the ground are needed to monitor 10,000 planes."
The French journalist finally said that the current price of this unmanned flying taxi is 300,000 euros. Businesses such as aerial sightseeing and short-distance passenger transport provide people with a brand new travel and tourism experience.
