An air taxi was successfully tested in China within the framework of its first intercity flight.
The test flight took place between the cities of Shenzhen and Zhuhai. In 20 minutes, the air taxi covered 50 kilometers, which is three times faster than by land transport. This was reported by runews24.ru.
The capacity of this aircraft is 4 passengers. Thanks to its characteristics, it is capable of speeds of up to 200 km/h and flights of up to 250 kilometers.
Commercial air taxi transportation could become available as early as 2026. The developers believe that in the future it will become a competitor to high-speed helicopters.
