It's not a drone. It's a quadcopter!

Drones are UAVs and essentially, a flying robot. The aircraft may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with GPS.

This one is manned and not remotely controlled!

Anyways, hat's off to the engineers who have produced this quadcopter! Fantastic job!

SMART FLIGHT WITH ONE SINGLE CLICK POINT TO POINT

Ehangen 184 AAV flies in a inverted U shape. It takes off and lands vertically,
point to point direct flight based on altitude and latitude of the origin and termination point.
Take Off/Landing points are landing targets pre-set with Ehangen Logo.
The landing camera will position the landing targets automatically and accurately.


FAIL-SAFE SYSTEM

Four arms and eight propellers offer great lifting power and safety. Even with one propeller malfunctions, it can still land in the nearest possible area safely.
The 184 AAV has embedded with Ehangen fail safe system. If any components malfunction or disconnect, the aircraft will immediately land in the nearest possible area to ensure safety.
The communication is encrypted and each AAV has its independent key.

FLIGHT SAFETY MANAGEMENT

the 184 AAV is designed with full redundancy – If one set of the power system are operating abnormal, the vehicle can still operate a normal flight plan and ensure the safety of the passenger together with the vehicle.
The 184 was designed to be a 100% with green technology, and is powered by electricity only.
