EH216
EHangThe EHang EH216-S is a two-seat, battery-powered, pilotless eVTOL aircraft developed by EHang Holdings (Nasdaq: EH), headquartered in Guangzhou, China. It is the first eVTOL to receive a full suite of CAAC airworthiness certifications (Type Certificate, Production Certificate, Standard Airworthiness Certificate), with a retail price of RMB 2.39 million (~$338,000) in China and US$410,000 in global markets (effective April 1, 2024). The aircraft carries up to 2 passengers, has a range of approximately 32 km at up to 130 kph, and is designed for fully autonomous (pilotless) operation with no onboard pilot. Operational demonstration flights have been conducted in multiple countries including China, Qatar, Mexico, and others, with ground control and UTM infrastructure supporting operations. All autonomy claims originate from the vendor and official sources; no independent teardown or adversarial review evidence contradicts the pilotless operation claim, though the operational model relies on ground-based command-and-control oversight.

Evidence-graded claims from the EHang deep report
EHang set a Guinness World Record at China's Spring Festival Gala (February 2026) using 22,580 UAVs, including 16 EH216-S aircraft
Guinness World Records is an independent third-party certifying body, and the Spring Festival Gala is a nationally broadcast event with broad public visibility, making this the most independently verifiable claim in the dossier; however, the 16 EH216-S aircraft's specific role in the record (vs. the other UAVs) is not separately verified.
from EHang deep report →EHang's stock dropped approximately 40% following a short-seller report, raising questions about the company's operational claims
The ~40% drop is corroborated by Macrotrends stock price history data [6] showing a dramatic decline from the all-time high of $124.09 (Feb 2021) to current levels near $7, and community Reddit sources [12][13] independently reference the short-seller event; however, the specific allegations in the short-seller report are not detailed in the dossier, so their merit cannot be assessed.

EHang has conducted a full year of revenue-generating passenger flights in China
This claim originates from a community Reddit source [15] assessed at only 0.75 confidence, and is described as consistent with — but not independently verified beyond — EHang's own deployment claims; no audited revenue figures or third-party customer accounts are cited.
from EHang deep report →EHang's operational deployment in China spans multiple cities including Guangzhou Huangpu, Hefei Luogang, Shenzhen Luohu, and Zhuhai Guishandao
All deployment site information originates exclusively from EHang's official website [1]; no independent news reports, local government announcements, or third-party observers confirm active commercial operations at these specific locations.
