Airbus surprised with the flying vehicle of the future
For anyone who spends a lot of time commuting to work every day, the idea of doing it in a few minutes is priceless. Can you imagine? No jams on the road, no train delays, niÄ more of the cold at bus stations – what could be better? We aim for all thisÄ promises approximately 100 companies engaged in the development of eVTOL (electric vertical take-off-and-landing) vehicles.
It seems that the Airbus #141 flying taxis will soon be able to transport the first passengers around. Its engineers are namely in cooperation with numerous companies in this field, prepared an extremely interesting prototype of a flying electric vehicle, which represents serious competition in this segment. The #141 flying vehicle CityAirbus NextGen is very quiet during operation, producing only 70 decibels of noise during take-off, and even less during flight - only 65 decibels, which is quite an amazing achievement.
The Airbus CityAirbus NextGen flying vehicle has a flight autonomy of up to 80 kilometers, and the maximum travel speed is 120 kilometers per hour. The novelty was designed for use in city centers, namely it can offer easy passenger transport or, for example, rapid medical services. Soon, these interesting flying electric vehicles should be tested in practice near us, namely in neighboring Italy. In the next few months, Airbus CityAirbus NextGen will also be tested in Germany, Japan, Norway and many Latin American countries.
Despite the fact that the technology is ready, it is not yet known when the CityAirbus NextGen flying vehicle will become part of our everyday life. The production costs of such vehicles are namely Still very high. This ultimately means that the use of electric flying vehicles for passengers will also be quite expensive and limited - at least initially.
