With some clearer wording on what's been approved so far,
- "Early EH216-S operations will come with heavy limitations, which EHang said it aims to lift in phases. For example, flights are restricted to Guangzhou and Hefei and must land where they lifted off[...] In other words, the EH216-S is approved for applications like out-and-back aerial tourism but not air taxi services in cities."
(I don't want to derail this thread too strongly, but the current source looks very much like AI slop. The text is egregiously LLM, and, if you zoom in [0] on the people in the backgrounds of the photos, there's some Lovecraftian horror going on with those faces!)
