The eVTOL aircraft, capable of 150 km/h with a 200 km range, will begin commercial operations in two major cities later this year.
A consortium of aerospace engineers has unveiled the world's first commercial flying electric taxi service, promising to transform urban mobility with zero-emission vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
The Aircraft
- Cruise speed of 150 km/h
- Range of 200 km on a single charge
- 45-minute fast-charge capability
- Noise levels 70 percent lower than helicopters
Launch Plans
Two major cities will host the initial routes, with 15 aircraft operating from rooftop vertiports. Fares are expected to be comparable to premium ride-hailing services.
Regulators have granted conditional certification, with full approval expected after six months of operational data.
The company has received pre-orders from 12 additional cities across four continents, with expansion planned over the next three years.
