Electric Flying taxis are going to revolutionize transportation soon. eVTOL also known as Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing are the taxis that don’t require a runway to fly. They can fly from a small helipad or rooftop. The only difference will be that eVTOL flies only using electricity. Thus, it is an environment-friendly way. The project will be operational in different cities soon. New things are being added. Let us uncover eVTOL’s more features below.
How Can eVTOL Change The Transportation Industry?
eVTOL is the future of the transportation industry. It will have a huge impact on the speed of the taxis. Transportation will be much faster with the use of eVTOLs. It will save us from the long traffic jams. It will also be useful in case of emergencies. These flying taxis will not only help prevent air pollution, but they will also help reduce our commute time. Another benefit of these flying taxis is the reduction in sound pollution. Unlike helicopters, eVTOLs do not make any sound or disturbance in the environment.
The project will take over in collaboration with Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport and Sarla Aviation. Thus, the eVTOL will also be able to land at airports. It will benefit those who want to catch flights on time but the traffic congestion on the roads makes it difficult. India will soon get its first eVTOL-friendly airport. It will help you to reach your desired location faster than cars. Currently, eVTOL is planning to offer commute services from Indiranagar to Airport. The next question arises about the price.
Will it be affordable or not? The answer to this question is a Big Yes. If we perform a cost comparison, eVTOLs are cheaper. If regular taxis take Rs. 2,500 then flying taxis will charge only Rs. 1,700. It operates on clean energy with zero emissions and minimal noise. These flying taxis expect to have a speed of 250 km/h. While it can cover 160 km on a single charge. Regarding accommodation, it has a sitting capacity of 7 passengers.
It will be interesting to imagine commuting from home to the office and vice versa through eVTOLs. Even though Bangalore has introduced these aircraft, there is still a lot of work to do. There is a need for society to accept these changes which will take time. Many fear flying and heights. There will also be questions among people about its safety. Stay tuned for more information
