How far does the unmanned aerial vehicle in the anime, the "flying taxi" that can shuttle in the low air of the city, leave human society? The scenes from science fiction movies are becoming a reality. The reporter learned that on March 18th, the world's first domestically developed "Air Taxi" Yihang EH216-S unmanned manned aircraft, which has obtained airworthiness certification, was launched on an e-commerce platform with a price tag of 2.39 million yuan per aircraft. The aircraft has completed airworthiness certification and is undergoing commercial trials worldwide. It is reported that EH216-S can carry two people, with a length of 6.05 meters, a width of 5.73 meters, and a height of 1.93 meters, consisting of 16 propellers; For fully intelligent unmanned aerial vehicles, capable of vertical takeoff and landing without the need for a runway, mainly flying in low altitude airspace. The maximum range for a single flight is 30 kilometers in a straight line in the air, and the maximum flight speed can reach 130 kilometers per hour. Through the management of the ground command and dispatch system, multiple aircraft can complete orderly unmanned flight in the air. Visually, the Yihang EH216-S resembles a helicopter with full propellers, but compared to traditional helicopters with individual rotors, the Yihang EH216-S has a total of 8 axes and up to 16 rotors, making it look like Dr. Octopus's tentacles from a distance. The biggest highlight of this aircraft is the use of a multi backup design concept for each key component, fully ensuring safe and smooth flight. "There is still a big difference from the commonly perceived helicopters," said He Tianxing, Vice President of Yihang Intelligence. "Yihang's EH216-S is powered by multiple rotors, which adjust the speed of each rotor to control attitude and cruising. At the same time, the 16 rotors and key components such as flight control are designed with multiple backups, fully ensuring safety.". Even if a component fails during flight, its backup can be replaced in a timely manner to fully ensure flight safety He Tianxing said, "We will provide professional team services tailored to the situation of purchasing customers, ensuring everyone's approval of urban airspace, flight route setting, aircraft maintenance, engineer training, and other aspects. In cities that meet current regulatory requirements, flights can be carried out." The reporter also learned that another model of long range VT-30 aircraft product launched on the e-commerce platform has an air flight range of 300 kilometers, All overall configuration verifications and flight tests have been completed, and airworthiness applications will also be conducted within this year.
