Electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, commonly called eVTOLs, are being developed for potential urban air mobility. Companies and regulators are working on aircraft certification, pilot operations, infrastructure and safety before commercial services can scale.
What Could Flying Taxis Change?
- Short urban journeys
- Airport connections
- Emergency and medical transport
- New aerial mobility networks
- Lower local emissions from electric aircraft
- New infrastructure such as vertiports
- New rules for airspace and passenger safety
Flying taxis are an emerging technology. Timelines, prices and availability will depend on certification, safety testing, infrastructure and local regulation.
