Title: Airbus flying taxi
Post by: frankinstien on July 29, 2020, 10:00:45 pm
The aircraft technically qualifies as a drone since it will be remotely piloted with plans to make it completely autonomous. I don't think I'll be wanting to fly in one of these anytime soon since its flying time is only 15 minutes.  Yes, it's only for inner-city flying but I'd like a little more lead-time than less than 15 minutes, particularly if the skies are packed with these guys and you need to wait for a landing dock. ::)
