The world's first drone capable of autonomously1 flying a passenger for 23 minutes has been approved for further testing in the state of Nevada, the United States.
世界首台可以自动驾驶并装载一名乘客飞行23分钟的无人机在美国内华达州被批准进行进一步测试。
The electric "Ehang-184" passenger drone was released in Las Vegas this January by Ehang, a Chinese company based in the country's southern province of Guangdong.
Tom Wilczek, an aerospace3 and defense4 specialist from the Governor's Office of Economic Development in Nevada, said through the Nevada Institute for Autonomous2 Systems, the state would help guide Ehang through the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) regulatory process with the ultimate goal of achieving safe flight.
Ehang hopes to begin testing later this year and will have to prove airworthiness to the FAA before operating in a bigger scale.
The company's CEO Hu Huazhi said it would promote the drone's commercialization in the future and fuel the autonomous civil aviation industry.
