![FUTURISTIC VISIONS OF "FLYING CARS”](https://cdn.magzter.com/1381217989/1711804254/articles/5YHpZysAZ1712057728238/FUTURISTIC-VISIONS-OF-FLYING-CARS.jpg)
For years, flying taxis have represented an exciting but distant dream, fuelled in part by industry hype. This fantasy has increasingly materialised over the past 5 years with a swell of popular interest in on-demand urban air transportation.
Following this trend, a new category of aircraft has emerged: eVTOLs (electrical vertical take-off and landing aircrafts) with a strongly differentiating offer and answering a growing demand for new mobility solutions due to increasing urbanisation. Many players have entered this nascent market, raised funding and secured pre-orders (already 7k+ preorders) to be fulfilled.
Some may wonder what is left of the initial promise and what it takes to operate an eVTOL in a near future. Thus, flying “cars” is moving further to become a reality. Find below the air taxis broadening the reach of aviation to benefit more people but also increase the frequency of those benefits. Dig in to find your next take off!
1. OVERAIR BUTTERFLY
After completing ground testing of the propulsion system last year, Southern California’s Overair has been focusing on building and flying the production prototype of its “Butterfly” air taxi. Overair designed its one-pilot, five-passenger butterfly with distinctive points that included no single point of failure, zero carbon emissions, low noise at 44 dBA, a max speed of 200 mph, and a total range of 100 miles. Spanning over 20 feet, the Butterfly’s propellers are much longer than other electric taxis, which allow it to hover with only two of the four propellers in emergencies.
