Recently, EHang's two-seater AAV EH216, with the cooperation and support of MASC after its flight debut in June this year, Fukushima and Okayama, Japan. We made a series of demo flights. We also considered the application and practice of AAV solutions in use cases such as cross-island travel, emergency rescue, and aeronautical logistics. 

With many guests and media testimony, the EH216 has successfully completed a flight demonstration of an emergency rescue scenario in  extreme weather events with strong winds of up to 27.5 m / s at the Fukushima Robot Test Field (RTF). In 2019, the Public-Private Council for Japan's Air Transport Revolution has positioned  Fukushima RTF as a permanent test flight site to achieve  commercial applications for eVTOL in 2023.
