June 11, 2026 — EHang reported that its EH216-S eVTOL aircraft completed a high-altitude point-to-point flight over Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan province.

The flight connected Xizhou to Shuanglang. According to the company, the journey took less than 10 minutes, compared to approximately 60 minutes by car.

The flight area has an altitude of about 2,000 meters (approximately 6,562 feet). EHang described the environment as a plateau with thin air; the company stated that the aircraft used self-developed high-altitude propellers.

The company added that the flight served as a key “stress test” as eVTOL moves toward real, complex commercial scenarios after obtaining market access qualifications.
