London: The UK government aims to introduce flying taxis by 2026, envisioning them as a staple of urban transport by 2028.
Spearheaded by a collaboration between aerospace giants, this initiative seeks to revolutionize travel with fully autonomous electric vehicles.
The proposal outlines a timeline culminating in the arrival of the first self-flying taxi by 2030, though challenges such as infrastructure development and public acceptance loom large.
Despite hurdles, experts anticipate significant progress toward the 2026 goal, emphasizing the transformative potential of flying taxis in the mobility landscape.
These electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) are poised to serve premium routes traditionally dominated by helicopters.
Additionally, the plan aims to leverage drones for diverse tasks, from medical supply transport to law enforcement operations, further advancing aerial mobility.
