The development of electric aircraft is moving at an ever-increasing rate worldwide: another company is embarking on the development of such a powered small passenger car, and EASA has certified the first ultralight type in Europe.
In three years, the German Volocopter would operate its urban air taxis in Singapore, and in the longer term, cross-border flights are also planned.
Unmanned aerial vehicles cannot be flown at night, take off over people, and someone must always keep an eye on their movements – strict rules prevent buzzing structures or their careless owners from harming people, objects or other aircraft.
In the future, instead of pilots, a self-driving drone would bring fuel to aircraft that need to be refueled in the air.
The world’s third-largest carmaker, Hyundai of South Korea, didn’t miss the opportunity either, and instead of cars, it also has a definite vision of something completely different, like Toyota.
For the time being, a U.S. company that would transport passengers to the destination with its planes, not from the airport but directly from the city center, is awaiting U.S. Aviation Authority approvals.
