The concept of flying cars has long been a staple of science fiction, but it is now becoming a reality. Alef Aeronautics, a Silicon Valley-based startup founded in 2015, has announced that it will begin production of the world’s first commercially available flying car in 2024.
The United Kingdom has made a pioneering leap in the evolution of urban air transport with the successful test flight of the VX4 air taxi, developed by Vertical Aerospace. This event signals a significant shift towards sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced aerial mobility solutions.
But while the concept is thrilling, the real challenge lies in propulsion: how do you power an aircraft that needs to take off like a helicopter and cruise like an airplane efficiently, quietly, and safely?
EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), a global leader in Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) technology, has inaugurated its groundbreaking Exhibition (Experience) Center in Shenzhen’s Luohu Sports and Leisure Park.
