EHang Launches UAM Exhibition Center in Shenzhen’s Luohu District
EHang, a Chinese company specializing in urban air mobility (UAM) technology, recently unveiled its UAM Exhibition Center in Shenzhen’s Luohu Sports and Leisure Park. This Center is the world’s first EH216-S takeoff and landing site featuring an automated vertical lift platform, setting a new standard for eVTOL aircraft operations in urban areas.
Designed by EHang, the Center boasts an automated vertical lift vertiport with a total construction area of approximately 753 square meters. The first floor is dedicated to a hangar and boarding area, providing passengers with a comfortable indoor boarding experience. The integrated takeoff and landing pad with the hangar allows for rapid charging and enhances flight operational efficiency.
During the launch ceremony, an EH216-S aircraft was lifted from the first to the second floor by the vertical lift platform and completed a lap over the Luohu Sports and Leisure Park, marking its inaugural flight at the Center.
The Luohu District plans to establish a systematic network of low-altitude takeoff and landing facilities, with a goal of building 100 sites by 2026. As the first intelligent UAM operations center in the district, the facility will support the commercial operations of the low-altitude economy, serving as a model for development and a landmark for cultural tourism.
EHang will collaborate with the Luohu District Bureau of Culture, Radio, Tourism, and Sports to offer various service scenarios such as aerial transportation, cultural and tourism sightseeing, and technology-driven experiences. This partnership aims to advance the growth of low-altitude economic initiatives in Shenzhen.
Mr. Zhao Wang, EHang’s Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the company’s commitment to infrastructure development for the low-altitude economy.
