With the rapid advancement of technology, flying cars are getting closer and closer to us, and “flying taxi” is about to become a reality.
According to media reports, a Russian drone company has recently developed a very cool “air cab”. This is a flying tool that can carry passengers and cargo, and can fly without obstacles at a distance of up to 100 kilometers.
Currently, the prototype is testing “lift and cruise” flight mode, that is, takeoff, landing and horizontal flight by different engine groups, and is testing a parachute system for emergency situations.
According to reports, this “air cab” can carry two people at a Time, the total weight of up to 300 kg, flying at speeds of up to 200km / h. It can reach an altitude of 150 meters, a flight can cover a distance of 100 kilometers.
At the same time, the machine is controlled by artificial intelligence, can monitor the traffic situation in the air at any time, but also can take off in situ without the help of the runway, suitable for those “new to parking”.
The founder of the drone company, Atamanov, said the “air cab” is scheduled to be officially launched in Moscow in 2023 to 2025.
By spring 2021, the Russian government plans to build a new driverless test platform at the Skolkovo Innovation Center: it will have a 5G signal and will make it possible to improve the artificial intelligence-based driverless control system that can map routes, operate Drones and ensure flight safety.” Atamanov said.
