Flying taxis could be here in next three years
There will soon be a new form of transport - flying taxis. Many of us grew up watching sci-fi movies with these. Science fiction is becoming science fact. The Japanese airline ANA and a U.S. tech start-up called Joby Aviation will start operating air taxis at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. They are currently building the flying vehicle. They need to work out what traffic rules the taxis will follow, and what kind of training flying taxi pilots will need. The five-seat, all-electric taxi will take off and land vertically. It will fly as far as 241 kilometers and have a top speed of 321kph. |
