Sri Lanka today conducted its first official trial of an electric-powered passenger drone service at Colombo Port City, using a Chinese-made EHang E216 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The aircraft is capable of carrying two passengers and can take off and land vertically without requiring a runway.
The trial marks an initial step towards introducing passenger drone services in Sri Lanka, with the Government currently working on regulations governing their future commercial operation.
