Recently, Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (“ANAC”) granted the Experimental Flight Authorization Certificate (“CAVE”) to EHang´s EH216-S pilotless eVTOL, enabling trial operations with the aircraft system in Brazil. Within the framework of ANAC's CAVE certificate, EHang and local partner and operator Gohobby are carrying out extensive trial and test campaigns for the EH216-S in close collaboration with ANAC and the Brazilian Airspace Control Department (“DECEA”).
