Also in 2021, Airbus revealed CityAirbus NextGen, an all-electric, four-seat eVTOL multicopter concept featuring a wing, for the general public during the 2024 Olympic Games. Volocopter successfully flew its electric air taxi 'helicopter', the VoloCity, from Le Bourget airport in 2021. One route will carry passengers via Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Le Bourget airports, while the second will travel between two suburbs southwest of the French capital.Īt present, Volocopter and Airbus have commercial plans for the Paris Olympics. The city of Paris hopes to create two dedicated flight paths to ferry passengers for the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics. Therefore, both Paris and Osaka have deployed flying cars.
By then, the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics and the Expo 2025 Osaka will be in the global spotlight. In the future, with the improvement of the route network and the growth of long-distance transportation demand, composite wings and tilting wings with longer range and faster cruising speed will gradually become the mainstream.Īs per the planning announced by vendors, the commercialization of flying cars will happen around 2025. But, they are only suitable for short-distance transportation because of a short range. On the market, the most used multi-rotors take off and land vertically, hover precisely, are simple to operate with little technical difficulty, and land quickly. Among them, the most traditional fixed wings are rarely used due to the inability to take off and land vertically and hover. The technical configurations of flying cars mainly include four types: fixed wings, multi-rotors, composite wings and tilting wings. Multi-rotor configuration is the current mainstream
It features electric vertical take-off and landing, intelligent autonomous driving, amphibious transport and so on. Broadly speaking, it is a low-altitude intelligent autonomous transportation tool carrying cargo or people, namely electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL). A flying car is a three-dimensional vehicle.
