Today, the complexity of aircraft demands more than a kick-the-tires-and-light-the fires approach to flying. As aircraft became more sophisticated in the 20th century, the need…
“The world's megalopolises are continuing to grow. No wonder air taxis are capturing people's imaginations.”
“With quiet electric motors and the ability to take off and land vertically from rooftops and parking lots, self-flying 'air taxis' like Vahana are being hailed as the next big thing for getting around town and to and from airports.”
“But the Drone Age is now just around the corner, making it high time to prepare for the numerous safety challenges it will pose.”
“Acubed is an Airbus sibling capitalizing on the strength of California’s technology capital to inject new ideas.”
“If all goes as planned, digitally manufactured autonomous aircraft will shuttle passengers quietly and cleanly through a well-organized airspace.”
“If successful, air commuting will change our attitudes to our habitats. We will live above cities, not merely within and below them.”
