The expectations of the developers of this vehicle
"This technology will revolutionize travel, combining the safety of commercial airlines with environmental benefits."
"With the launch of the VA-1X, we are proud to be one step closer to mass market adoption and support the next era of aviation."
"People should be able to get from A to B quickly and affordably, without sacrificing the planet," Cervenka stressed.
The design and characteristics of the flying cab
Its design is inspired by Formula One cars, including the use of lightweight materials.The structure will be 13 meters long and 15 meters wide, according to its creators. With this, they ensure that it is small enough to go out and land on helipads.
Honeywell is a partner at VA-1X.
According to Vertical Aerospace, the start-up is planning an EASA approval of its aircraft "according to the same safety standards as airlines."The company aims to make flights with the VA-1X significantly cheaper than helicopters and thus democratize the use of air taxis.
