On October 13, EHang Intelligent Aviation Technology made a splash by introducing its latest innovation—the new-generation long-range unmanned manned aircraft, VT35. This aircraft, an upgraded and refined version of the VT30, boasts a compound-wing eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) design, tailored specifically for medium- to long-distance travel. The official guide price for the standard VT35 model on the Chinese market is set at a competitive 6.5 million yuan. Notably, the aircraft has already successfully undergone conversion flight tests.

The VT35 features a tandem-wing configuration with a two-seat layout, offering a full-load range of approximately 200 kilometers and a maximum takeoff weight of 950 kilograms. Its compact and efficient design not only minimizes risks but also enhances cost-effectiveness. Moreover, it is designed to be compatible with the takeoff and landing sites used by the EH216-S model. Leveraging EHang's cutting-edge technology and robust infrastructure, the VT35 is equipped with advanced capabilities such as automatic flight, multi-aircraft coordination, and collision detection and avoidance systems.

In a significant development, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) accepted VT35's application for a type certificate in March 2025. The aircraft is now in the process of undergoing airworthiness certification. Additionally, EHang has exciting plans to introduce a tilt-rotor version of the VT35 in the near future.

At the launch event, EHang signed cooperation agreements with two prominent companies. Furthermore, the Hefei Municipal Government platform company has already placed orders for the VT35. This move follows EHang's establishment of the headquarters for its VT35 series products in Hefei in August of this year. In September, Hefei released a relevant white paper aimed at providing comprehensive policy and infrastructure support for the development and deployment of such advanced aviation technologies.
