NASA Is Testing ‘AIR Taxi’ That Shuttles You Across Cities In Minutes (Video)

The space agency recently announced that it has started flight testing a battery-powered air vehicle built by California start-up Joby Aviation.

Joby’s all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft can seat two people and has a flight range of up to 150 miles, according to the company.

It’s powered by six giant propellers and is designed to one day ferry passengers across cities in a fraction of the time taken by traditional taxis.

It was designed to be as quiet as possible in order to fit into busy city life without disturbing residents.

Nasa revealed it was working with Joby in a blog post on September 1.

Researchers began flight testing late last month at the company’s Electric Flight Base located near Big Sur, California.

The project is being carried out as part of Nasa’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) National Campaign, which aims to help emerging aviation markets.

The flights run through September 10 and is the first time Nasa has tested an eVTOL aircraft as part of the campaign.

A number of companies are vying to build the world’s first flying cab, including taxi hailing behemoth Uber and aviation firm Volocopter.

In 2017, an autonomous flying taxi drone built by Volocopter took to the skies above Dubai as part of early tests for a commercial service.

The company has said it wants to launch what it’s calling the world’s first air taxi service in 2022.

While there’s plenty of hype surrounding the emerging technology, experts have cast doubts over the feasibility of such a service.

Critics have highlighted that, in order for a fully fledged service to operate, regulations surrounding flying over cities would need to be eased significantly.

Concerns have also been raised over the cost of any such service to passengers and whether the infrastructure can be put in place to charge a fleet of massive air vehicles.

    Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
    Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
    I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure

    With thanks

    I have been surfing online more than three hours lately, but I
    never discovered any interesting article like yours.

    It’s beautiful price sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will
    likely be much more helpful than ever before.

    I have been browsing on-line greater than three
    hours today, but I by no means found any interesting
    article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the
    net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
