Flying Taxi: A Drone Big Enough To Carry Human Passengers Exhibited In China

The exhibition was held within the week in China for a drone big enough to carry human passengers. The manufacturer EHang hopes that the machine could soon work like a flying taxi. The EHang 216 has a top speed of 80mph and is autonomous, receiving signals via a 4G or 5G phone network from a command and control centre. It can carry a payload of up to 220kg and has a range of up to 20 miles. The flying taxi is fully electric-powered and can be charged off the mains in one hour, EHang says and i t requires no runway to take off.
