Posted on May 21, 2017 by editor

800px-Flying_car..._this_one_is_more_plane_than_car_(4390845591)Airbus revealed a ride in its flying cars will cost the same as a regular taxi.

Airbus is developing a flying taxi as part of an effort to reduce congestion in big cities by taking commuting to the skies. The customer would book the vehicle using an app, similar to car-sharing schemes. The aircraft would wait at a nearby helipad and pick up passengers at their requested location. The cost is low because the electric aircraft doesn’t need the same maintenance as a ground taxi. Continue reading →

Revolutionary All-Electric Flying Car Successfully Completes Maiden Flight

Posted on April 21, 2017 by editor

450px-SeatbeltThe Lilium Jet promises to revolutionize the way we travel. The electric flying car has just completed its maiden test flight in Germany.
Lilium, the Munich-based startup developing the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) jet, has successfully completed a series of tests using a two-seat prototype of the larger craft it is eventually planning to create.
The basic concept is that the new vehicle has the benefits of a helicopter. While taking off, it doesn’t require vast airfields or runways, and once airborne, the craft is able to achieve the higher top speeds like a jet.
In a video provided by the company, the aircraft can be seen taking off vertically like a helicopter. When in the air, the aircraft uses wing power to travel quietly and efficiently. Continue reading →
