Air taxi breaks records

All residents and guests of large tourist cities, exhausted by endless traffic jams, from which even dedicated lanes cannot save, look with hope at the prospects for the emergence of flying taxis.

They do not require special airfields for takeoff and landing, and they are much quieter and safer and definitely cheaper than helicopters, which are not very accessible to the average traveler.

In addition, leaders in this direction are breaking out Chinese manufacturers, who began to push back friendly American and European firms. Well, if it works on Russian roads, why not look at the sky.

 According to Mail.ru, the Chinese air taxi Prosperity 4, which is being developed by  start-up Autoflight, has set a new world record by flying 250.3 km on a single charge.

The five-seat record holder is an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 2 tons and can accelerate to 200 kilometers in hour.
