Earlier this week, Guangzhou-based EHang, the world’s leading urban air mobility tech company, announced the successful maiden flight of its EH216-S pilotless electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in Mexico, a first in the North American country that expanded EHang’s global presence to 19 countries.

A drone from Guangzhou-based EHang conducts a test flight over OH Bay in Bao’an District on Thursday, bringing passenger-carrying commercial sightseeing flights one step closer to reality.
