Dubai has successfully completed the first test flight of an aerial (空中的) taxi. It is a fully electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. This is a major step for Dubai to introduce new urban transport.
The aerial taxi can offer fast and zero-emission (排放) travel in cities. It makes little noise and needs a small place to land. It has a top speed of 320 kilometres per hour and can fly as far as 160 kilometers. It can carry four passengers and a pilot. From Dubai International Airport to Palm Jumeirah, it only takes 12 minutes by aerial taxi, but 45 minutes by car.
The first commercial flights are set for 2026, and the first station will be near Dubai International Airport. Dubai crown prince said this flight shows Dubai’s vision (愿景) for future. Dubai is the first city in the world to offer such urban air mobility services. This project will surely make people’s life easier.
