In five years, the Summer Olympics will be held in Paris. The flow of tourists in the French capital will increase dramatically. Traffic collapse is very likely. In order to prevent it, the authorities decided in favor of radical measures. They will introduce Aerotaxi.
Unmanned Aerotaxi will be provided by Airbus. It will quickly deliver passengers from Charles de Gaulle Airport directly to the city. A bus needs about an hour to cover this distance. In the air, tourists will fly without traffic jams, saving a lot of time for checking into hotels and visiting the competitions.
Aerotaxi will fly every 6 minutes. By the end of this year, the officials will select a place in the city as the landing site. It will take another half a year to build it.
For the successful implementation of such a large-scale plan, Aerotaxi should be safe, reliable, and also combined with the existing infrastructure. If the technology proves its effectiveness even under the conditions of severe loads of the Olympic Games, it can be introduced in other megacities all over the planet.
Airbus is finalizing its aircraft. Thus, the AlbatrossOne drone was equipped with a structurally new wing. A special hinge inside it reduces turbulence and increases the lift force of the aircraft.
