Electric VTOL air taxis are one of the great emerging technologies of our time, promising to unlock the skies as traffic-free, high-speed, 3D commuting routes. Much quieter and cheaper than helicopter travel, they’ll also run on zero-local-emission ele… Continue reading State of the game: The key players in the emerging eVTOL air taxi market
Here’s one we missed from several months ago: Brazilian eVTOL innovator EmbraerX put forth a fun video showing how a multi-mode 3D transport system might work, with an eVTOL air taxi carrying a detachable glassed-over cabin that it delivers straight on… Continue reading Pulse eVTOL concept drops its cabin onto an autonomous car chassis
Just last month, China’s air mobility company EHang announced plans to fly into Europe and set up shop in Seville, Spain. Now the firm has partnered with the City of Hezhou in Guangxi Province, China, to build a tourism-focused terminal for its air tax… Continue reading EHang commits to building air taxi terminal for China
This eVTOL air taxi design looks like a weird helicopter/plane hybrid, but it’s the safest of all the eVTOL designs we’ve ever seen, and it has another killer advantage in that it requires no special certification. That’s huge news in the emerging 3D c… Continue reading Jaunt’s ROSA gyrodyne: The first eVTOL air taxi that actually looks safe
Back in January, China’s EHang aced the first flight in the US of its two-seat autonomous air taxi. Now the company has agreed to develop the first Urban Air Mobility pilot program in Seville, Spain.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Eh… Continue reading EHang flies into Spain to build air taxi test infrastructure
Japanese electronics giant NEC has been working with a company called Cartivator to design, build and test VTOL air taxi concepts. Now the two companies have demonstrated a multi-seat manned multicopter, a step toward a flying car future Japa… Continue reading NEC demonstrates wobbly multicopter flying car prototype
Skai made big waves last month with the launch of its long-range hydrogen-powered eVTOL air taxi prototype. In an interview with New Atlas, Skai’s CTO tells us these flying commuters will cost about the same per mile as an Uber ride, and that he expects to be able to land them just about anywhere.

A new electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) air taxi company came out of stealth mode today, using a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain that neatly sidesteps the energy density issue that’s holding back battery-powered aircraft. Alaka’i Te… Continue reading Skai hydrogen-powered eVTOL air taxi boasts enormous 400-mile range
