Description
Flying taxis have been a sci-fi fixture for decades, but one operator says they are finally close to reality, first in the United States and then the United Arab Emirates and India. "It will be as safe as flying a Boeing 787 or an Airbus A350," says Billy Nolen, Archer Aviation's chief safety officer at Dubai Airshow. Regulatory approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration for Archer's Midnight, a four-passenger, electric-powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, is expected as soon as 2025.
