The information provided here is as accurate as possible; however, eVTOL information from China is sometimes sparse, incomplete or conflicting. China is promoting what they call the "low-altitude economy" — a new push for general aviation — which includes both crewed and uncrewed passenger and air cargo eVTOL aircraft.
EHang was founded in December 2014 by Huazhi Hu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Derrick Yifang Xiong, Director and Chief Marketing Officer. EHang is an autonomous aerial vehicle technology platform company based in China and is pioneering the future of all-electric aerial transportation through multiple proprietary products and services. The company designs and manufactures electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) passenger and cargo aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM). The mission of EHang is to provide safe, autonomous and eco-friendly air mobility for everyone.
VT35 passenger eVTOL aircraft (production model)
The VT35 is a futuristic autonomous long-range two passenger eVTOL aircraft production model. The aircraft has intelligent interactive entertainment, a mobile office, a spacious and comfortable cabin, air conditioning, lighting controls and storage for luggage.
The safety specifications of the aircraft are many. Have autonomous worry-free long-range air travel that includes multiple redundancies across flight control, power and avionics systems to prevent single-point failures. These comprehensive safeguards also offer real-time obstacle avoidance for complete safety for all phases of flight. The aircraft has smaller dimensions than general aviation aircraft and can land in smaller types of landing areas such as vertiports or parking lots (in urban or rural areas) with precise takeoff and landing capability.
With its tandem wing layout with multiple control surfaces, the aircraft can handle high-altitude winds, low-altitude turbulence and complex airflow. The aircraft does all these things with zero carbon emissions and low noise, enabling green mobility to coexist with cities.
The cruise speed of the aircraft is 216 km/h (134 mph), has a range of 200 km (124 m) and has a flight time of 60 minutes. The aircraft has nine propellers, nine electric motors and is powered by battery packs. The aircraft has tandem wings, each wing has four VTOL-only propellers and has a pusher propeller in the rear of the fuselage. The fuselage is made from carbon fiber composite to give the aircraft a high strength to low weight ratio. The aircraft has fixed tricycle wheeled landing gear.
Specifications:
- Aircraft type: Passenger eVTOL aircraft (production model)
- Piloting: Remote piloting using EHang's Centralized Command and Fleet Managment.
- Capacity: 2 passengers
- Cruise speed: 216 km/h (134 mph), this is the economic cruising speed
- Range: 200 km (124 m), this is the full load range of the aircraft
- Flight time: 60 minutes
- Maximum payload weight: 200 kg (441 lb)
- Propellers: 9 propellers. 1 pusher propeller for forward flight. 8 VTOL-only propellers.
- Electric motors: 9 electric motors
- Power source: Battery packs
- Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
- Length: 8.26 m (27 ft)
- Wingspan (maximum width): 8.16 m (26.7 ft)
- Height: 3.09 m (10.14 ft)
- Windows: Typical general aviation windows
- Wings: Tandem wings with winglets
- Tail: 1 vertical stabilizer
- Landing gear: Fixed tricycle wheeled landing gear
- Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) uses multiple propellers or electric ducted fans, each powered by electric motors, to increase safety through redundancy. If one or more components fail, the remaining ones can still ensure a safe landing. There are also redundancies of critical components in the flight control, power and avionics systems preventing single-point failures, providing safety through redundancy. The aircraft has no moving surfaces or tilting parts when transitioning from vertical to forward flight and the reverse (except wing flaps and a vertical stabilizer flap) which increases safety by reducing complexity.
