What they do
Their core work
EHang Holding is the European arm of EHang, a global autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) technology company specializing in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban air mobility. In H2020 projects, they contribute real-world eVTOL platforms and operational experience to large-scale European demonstrations of drone and air taxi services in urban environments. Their role centers on providing flight hardware and operational know-how for validating U-space concepts — the European framework for managing unmanned aircraft in low-level airspace.
Core expertise
What they specialise in
U-space integration and operationsprimary
2 projects
CORUS-XUAM and GOF2.0 both focus on U-space service concepts and integrated urban airspace management for unmanned traffic.
Large-scale UAM flight demonstrationssecondary
2 projects
AMU-LED and GOF2.0 are Very Large Demonstrations (VLDs) testing real UAM operations in European cities, with EHang providing demonstration aircraft.
Concept of operations (CONOPS) for dronessecondary
1 project
CORUS-XUAM specifically develops concepts of operations and architecture for integrating eVTOL and general aviation into U-space.

U-space concepts and architecture
Recent focus
Urban air mobility demonstrations
EHang's H2020 involvement is concentrated in a single burst (2021), so there is no long-term evolution visible. All three projects entered simultaneously, covering the full spectrum from CONOPS development (CORUS-XUAM) to large-scale flight demonstrations (AMU-LED, GOF2.0). This suggests a strategic push to embed their eVTOL technology into the European regulatory and operational landscape in one coordinated effort.
EHang is positioning itself as a go-to eVTOL hardware provider for European UAM ecosystem projects, likely preparing for commercialization as U-space regulations mature.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: third_party_expertReach: European16 countries collaborated
EHang primarily operates as a third-party contributor (2 of 3 projects), providing their eVTOL platforms and operational expertise to consortia led by others — they are not leading projects but supplying critical hardware and flight capabilities. With 66 unique partners across 16 countries from just 3 projects, they plug into very large, multi-national consortia typical of EU aviation demonstration programs. This makes them accessible as a technology provider rather than a consortium leader — useful for anyone needing a real eVTOL platform for testing or demonstration purposes.
Despite only three projects, EHang connects to 66 partners across 16 countries, reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of EU aviation VLD programs. Their network spans the major European aviation research hubs.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
EHang is one of very few companies bringing commercially-developed, flight-certified autonomous aerial vehicles directly into EU research consortia. While most UAM project partners focus on regulation, airspace management, or simulation, EHang provides actual flying eVTOL hardware for real-world demonstrations. For any consortium needing a credible autonomous air taxi platform for flight trials, EHang fills a gap that few European entities can.
Notable projects
Highlights from their portfolio
- GOF2.0The only project where EHang received direct EC funding (EUR 511K) as a full participant, focused on integrated urban airspace VLD — suggesting deeper involvement than their third-party roles.
- AMU-LEDLarge-scale experimental demonstration of urban air mobility including eVTOL and BVLOS operations — one of Europe's flagship UAM demonstration projects.
