According to the Supreme Executive Director, the taxi flights will become a viable method of transporting in China in the next three years WideA company that makes autonomous air vehicles (AAVS).
Predicting Vice -President Ehang he tianxing comes a few days after the company became The first companyTogether with his co -partner Heyi Aviation, a joint venture is to obtain a certificate for managing “civilian cars that do not transfer China’s civil aviation administration.
said Ehang Certification cleanses the way to commercial operations of its vehicles, allowing you to pay the services transferred to the person, and any other low -height use cases that the company develops.
First Aavs Ehang will be used for tourism, and passengers will be able to ride on the designated routes in Guangzhou and Hephai by the end of June, CNBC said in an interview translated from mandarin.
The company will gradually study air taxi services as its tourist operations move. He called Hephei and Shenzhen the examples of some of the first cities that are supposed to receive air taxis services.
EHANG EH216-S, which received certification, is a completely electric pilot Web -Sight Ehang. It has a maximum design speed of 130 kilometers per hour, the maximum range of 30 kilometers.
It counts on receiving certificates for work in additional cities this year and in the following, and the second set of places for tourist operations is expected to include Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Tayuan, Wux, Wenzhou and Wuhan.
For the future HEphes and Guangzhou, he refused to share the cost for the trip, but hoped it would be reasonable enough to encourage more people to try a pilot air car.
The experience should be “like riding in a car,” he added, noting that no helmet and parachute is required. He said the initial duration of the attractions offered by the company will range from about three minutes to 10 minutes.
Asked about the world markets, he said that foreign partners actively addressed the news about the certification, and he hoped that Ehang could expand abroad in the next few years.
Early right
According to technology analysts, China, which allows commercial use of passenger AAVS, means its innovation and transportation and mobility.
“This is the main development, and shot through onions from China, which show that technology innovations are accelerated,” said Dan Jus, head of global technological research in the Wedbush Securities.
China has already established itself as a world leader in electric cars and autonomous management. Meanwhile, flying taxis represent “one of the following boundaries for the automotive and technology industry,” Jus said, adding that China has already created a clear advantage in this space.
Beijing first released The rules of the drone flight of the plane – Cars without a pilot on board – in June 2023. The US, on the other hand, should not yet expand the comparable rules.
Instead, Federal Aviation Administration Washington last year set the general rules For “nutrition” cars, which include several electrical vertical ups and landing (EVTOL).
EVTOL covers electric aircraft designed to transport passengers and takeoff and land vertically without the need for runways. However, FAA focused on those who manually pill.
Tu Le, заснавальнік кансультацый па аўтапраме, Sino Auto Insights, сказаў CNBC, што ЗША адстаюць ад Кітая і нават ЕС у EVTOLS з -за адсутнасці спрыяльнай палітыкі, якія змяшчаюць яго да пераадолення, лабіруючы канкуруючыя галіны альбо “простай палітыкі”.
Meanwhile, China supports EVTOL technology as part of its “Economy with low sophistication“The development of which is the main goal of the policy. The term refers to economic activity, which occurs in the air space below 1000 meters, which is significantly under 9000 meters of most commercial planes around.
In addition to the taxi flight and other EVTOLS, low sophistication economics include drones for delivery and air routes running helicopter.
The term has been recently included in Annual China’s Labor Report for 2025With the government promises to promote its development. Beijing also pledged to increase the consumption in the economy with low sophistication, in particular, in low -height tourism, air sports and consumer drones as part of a special action plan in March.
Already Economics from the low height of China-one from the fastest growing branches, and by 2025, presumably Report of the Hurun Research Group.
Competition builds up
The Sino Auto Insights’ Le also attributes China’s progress in the EVTOLS sector to highly internal competition.
In China, in recent years, there has been a great increase in future players in China when companies are preparing for a high -tech future, which has once been timed to science fiction.
Firms that invest in space included electric vehicles such as Gac, Geely and XPeng.
Last week, Xpeng Aero Ht, which passed along the flying car, completed the girl’s flight of his “Land Carrier”-a micro-utility with a quadrilateral of 2 people, CNBC reported.
XPENG AERO HT said in the second half of the year will hold an event to launch before selling and completing the construction of its mass production factory. By the end of the year, it is also aimed at receiving certificates for conscientiousness.
Last month CEO XPENG MOTORS he Xiaopeng told the state media The company plans by 2026 by the mass production of flying cars, as the economy from China’s low height is increasing.
However, despite the fact that China, which leads to EVTOL regulation, is expected to face competition from international companies that also invest and create different types of air vehicles.
Some of these companies include international companies such as America’s Boeing, France’s Airbus, and the Brazilian Embraer firm, which have taken the future demand for a flying car.
Many startups, including Joby Aviation, Archer and Wisk, also plan to launch various commercial taxi services over the next few years.
According to Ives Wedbush, the world electric upright and landing (EVTOL) over the next decade can grow into a $ 30 billion market opportunity.
