What’s it called?
The mosquito?
So a helicopter?
Keyword is affordable. Low electricity cost and low maintenance thank’s to extremely reliable electric motors means this is competitive with public transport.
Looks interesting, let’s see how the commercial approvals go😊
Pass. No one wants bunch of noisy drones above their heads
e‑helicopter ?
A new way for rich people to die crashing down as if small planes and helicopters weren’t killing enough of them. lol.
Cost is the key, I think by 2025 we will have healthy competition
I can see something like this being succesful to be honest, if they manage to get rides as cheap as $100 and everyone in a group chipping in. It’ll work. Also the design doesn’t seem the prettiest with the propelers but I assume it would be safer. If one motor dies theres 11 more to ensure a safe landing, also gives better control in those type of environments.
Then the ground and sky will be busy and crowded.….
Takes DWI to a whole new level.….
Expect “accidental building crashes” and a “9/11” 2.0 with this horrid invention called the Air taxi.
Air taxis are not the future. Train was, is and will always be the best form of mass transport, capable of getting rid of vehicles from roads and turning cities pedestrian friendly.
Affordable did he say mmmmmmmm 🤔🧐
This is NOT production ready, even according to the manufacturer. Cool concept, but this clickbait stuff is BS
fake air taxi 😏
Time to buy Tesla shares
