Sri Lanka is set to conduct its first official trial of an electric, pilotless passenger drone service today (11) at Colombo Port City, involving the EHang EH216-S, a two-passenger eVTOL aircraft developed by Chinese manufacturer EHang.
The trial marks an initial step towards exploring autonomous air mobility in Sri Lanka, with the testing programme expected to continue for approximately six months. Potential applications include tourism, passenger transportation and emergency services.
