Air Taxi: 96 km range on one charge, with a speed of 200 km/h.


German and South Korean companies have developed flying taxis to help you get to your destination on time without getting stuck in traffic jams in big cities. These air taxis, which fly in the sky like airplanes, also have various features that ensure the safety of the passengers.


This scene will be featured in the 1997 hollywood film Flubber starring Robin Williams. Attempts to realize the flying car imagined by Robin Williams, the hero who is a scientist, are going on all over the world. This is evidenced by the air show held in Farnborough, England. It was here that the flying taxis manufactured by the world's leading companies were showcased.It is said that the flying taxi will be the best solution to the problem of traffic jams causing problems for travelers all over the world. Due to the increase in the number of vehicles during rush hours, even if you go by hired taxis, you cannot get to your destination on time in metropolitan cities.


As a solution to this, the world's leading companies embarked on an effort to produce flying taxis. Following this, Hyundai's Supernal company has produced an electric taxi. Showcased at the Farnborough international Exhibition, the Supernal e-taxi is said to be able to fly 96 kilometers on a single charge. Designed to accommodate four people, the electric taxi has a top speed of 200 kmphThe Supernal e-taxi is designed to take off vertically from a point and travel laterally after a certain height. Its designers believe that the Supernal e-taxi will change the future mode of transportation for people, as it also has safety features similar to that of an airplane.


Meanwhile, to challenge the Supernal e-taxi, a German company called Lilium has designed a flying taxi called the EV-TOL. While Hyundai's Supernal e-taxi uses rotors to fly, this EV-TOL taxi has a 14-meter-long wingspan powered by electricity. Designed to carry around 6 passengers, the EV-TOL has a range of 175 km and a speed of 250 km/h. While flying taxi technology is technically feasible, it will be years before it can be operationally successful, according to aviation experts.
