Boeing, Porsche, and Aurora Flight Sciences, a subsidiary of Boeing, have teamed up to create a “flying car” and are currently developing “a concept for a fully electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. With the introduction of such vehicles which are anticipated for urban use, the mobility will extend to air space as well.
Namely, we might soon see an electric flying taxi!
“Porsche and Boeing together bring precision engineering, style, and innovation to accelerate urban air mobility worldwide,” said Steve Nordlund, Vice President and General Manager Boeing NeXt.
According to a study by Porsche Consulting, the urban air mobility market will likely boom after 2025. The study also suggests that urban air taxi solutions will be a quicker, more efficient, and affordable method of public transport.
In their announcement, Boeing and Porsche highlight their focus is on “premium mobility,” which suggests that they will release a high-cost option before scaling the technology and lowering manufacturing costs.
