Porsche has announced the development of an unmanned aerial vehicle for carrying passengers. If necessary, passengers can still take control, this does not even require a pilot’s license, but this is not necessary, since the flight is fully automated.





According to the head of the sales company Detlev von Platen, the use of flying vehicles will significantly reduce travel time.

To get from Porsche in Zuffenhausen to Stuttgart Airport by car, I need at least half an hour if I’m lucky, it takes only 3,5 minutes to fly

- gave an example of Platen.

Thus, Porsche intends to take its place in the growing market for flying taxis, standing on a par with companies like Daimler with their Velocopter, Geely, who acquired the developer Terrafugia - a car with vertical take-off and landing, as well as Airbus and design Italdesign Bureau, which presented at the Geneva Motor Show its latest development - the Pop.Up System passenger capsule.

A flying machine is not limited only to aeronautics and can move on the ground. The user can call an air taxi using a mobile application like Uber.
