Autonomous Flying Taxi Service

September 27, 2017 by Joseph Feldman 1 Comment

Dubai has started to test fly two-seater drones that are designed to transport people autonomously. The flights are currently unmanned however the city wants this vehicle to be the world’s first self flying taxi service and has named the drone the Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT). The AAT is powered by electricity and currently has a maximum flight time of 30 minutes and a maximum airspeed of 62mph. The inital test flight had the drone hovering 200 meters high. The drone consists of 18 rotors, optional emergency parachtes, and nine independant battery systems with each battery taking two hours to charge. Dubai plans to significantly reduce the charging time of the drone and to also offer a smartphone app that allows users to book flights and track routes. Dubai has set a target for autonomous transport to account for a quarter of total trips by 2030.
