The Indonesian National Police has procured the Chinese brand EHang 216-S electric air taxi from PT Prestisius Aviasi Indonesia (Prestige Aviation).The air taxi was displayed at the 79th anniversary celebration of the Indonesian National Police and will be used to enhance police aerial patrols. The Executive Chairman of Prestige Aviation said that this procurement shows the Indonesian police are serious about adopting future technology to strengthen services and national security responses, and also symbolizes that the Indonesian police are ready to adapt to global technological developments, and that Indonesia has the capacity to become a participant in technological development rather than just a bystander. The operating cost per flight of this vehicle is only hundreds of thousands of rupiah, making it an efficient solution for daily patrols in densely populated areas and areas difficult to access by ground vehicles. It can conduct automated aerial patrols for real-time monitoring of high-crime areas, disaster zones, and crowded areas; supports emergency needs such as rapid medical evacuation in hard-to-reach locations; integrates with command centers for fast decision-making based on aerial visuals; and can efficiently deploy police personnel in emergency situations. The EHang 216-S is part of the company's long-term vision to build an urban air mobility ecosystem in Indonesia. This air taxi features AI-based autonomous navigation, a cloud drone system, and high safety verified through global testing, and is expected to become the backbone of modern air mobility in Indonesia. The aircraft has a passenger capacity of 2; maximum speed of 130 km/h; range of 30 km; flight time of 25 minutes; payload capacity of 220 kg; 16 motors and propellers; charging time of approximately 90 minutes; fully automatic operation without a pilot; dual-door design, capable of vertical takeoff and landing.
