  • Electric Air-taxi maker AutoFlight successfully performs world’s first inter-city demonstration flight
    • Flight from Shenzhen to Zhuhai took just 20 minutes across the Pearl River Delta, a journey that would take three hours by car.
    • Demonstration flight showcased AutoFlight’s cutting-edge aviation technology in a highly complex environment, bordering multiple international airports and home to approximately 86 million people.
    • Flight path is one of 100 eVTOL aerial vehicle routes local government is developing as part of expansive “low-altitude economy” strategy.
    • Flight was uncrewed and fully autonomous, with certification for crewed passenger flights anticipated within approximately two years.
    • Unique aspect of eVTOL zero-emissions, pure-electric aviation lies in the aircraft’s vertical take-off capabilities, eliminating the need for a runway, and utilizing wings to preserve energy during cruising, rendering eVTOL aviation both affordable and sustainable.

    Air taxi without a pilot is scary tbh in case sth goes wrong

    Лет через десять это будет как обыденность наверное, как сейчас мобильные телефоны. В 2005 году было нереально даже представить что можно будет разговаривать по видео связи через телефон, и многие другие вещи, которыми сейчас даже ребенка двухлетнего не удивишь. Так что прогресс шагает со страшной силой.

      Согласен, надеюсь нам удастся полетать на чем то подобном при жизни)

    The front wing/canards will make the main wing less efficient..

    needs the space of a heli, the pilot of a heli, its more complex than a heli but if the motors fail it cant autorotate......

      Там 12 моторов, все 12 не могут сразу выйти из строя)

      Doesn’t need a pilot, costs only $27 and 20 min for an intercity 50km trip (compared to 2 h by taxi), holds 5 people per trip, flies faster than most helicopters, higher drag coefficient efficient, is purely electric.
      What more can you ask for?
      that's everything needed to make low altitude air taxi a reality.

      @@thomaszhang3101It's a solid first step but it needs to evolve a lot (due to range, safety, backup systems, ...). It isn't an issue of only this project but almost every other similar to it.

    Another unreliable Chinese tech toy! Cheap when it works and then throw it away because servicing cannot be done 2:12 or repair is more expensive than the new toy..
