The new flying electric-powered taxis will help to reduce environmental harm caused by emissions and can carry up to two passengers or 600 pounds of cargo.
Imagine flying over the city in a pilotless, electric-powered aircraft that can take you from point A to point B in minutes without a pilot onboard. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore. China-based Ehang has become the world’s first company to receive airworthiness certification for its fully autonomous, passenger-carrying air taxis.
How do electric air taxis operate without pilots? The air taxis are controlled by a centralized command and control center that monitors the flight status, routes and weather conditions. Passengers can simply select their destination on a touchscreen inside the cabin and enjoy the ride without worrying about piloting the aircraft. The air taxis do not require traditional infrastructure such as airports or runways.
