EHang completed the first public flight of its next‑generation, long‑range, compound‑wing autonomous passenger eVTOL VT‑35 at Feidong Bailong Airport in Hefei, Anhui Province. The company said the demonstration fully validated the VT‑35’s safety, stability and reliability, a public milestone toward commercial autonomous operations.

Briefing
The public flight validates VT‑35’s airframe and autonomous systems under witnessed conditions; the type was earlier described with a ~216 km/h cruise speed, ~60‑minute endurance and more than 200 kg useful payload (see VT‑35 specifications).
The milestone advances EHang’s commercialisation path and regulatory engagement, complementing its AAM sandbox activity in Thailand and broader signs of China’s eVTOL startups accelerating toward production and demonstrations.
