Startups at Paris Air Show hope to get air taxis buzzing across European skies.

Several companies at the Paris Air Show are presenting advanced prototypes of air taxis that could offer an alternative means of inner city transport. One of them, German group Volocopter, is aiming to get its aircraft up and running for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Electric air taxis are being developed for the Paris Olympics in 2024.

The aircraft will take off and land vertically, and carry a single passenger between transport hubs.

Using existing helicopter routes, the vehicles – known as VoloCity air taxis – will fly with one passenger and one pilot along two routes, taking rides from Charles de Gaulle airport to Le Bourget and a new landing pad at Austerlitz Paris.

@CatDragon @iyalei @femphysics But then again we had "transport ministers" that fanboy #ElonMusk, waste money on #Transrapid - #MAGLEV instead of forcing state-owned #DeutscheBahn to not let infrastructurr fall into disrepair and close-down thusands of kilometers of railway and that think that bs like #Volocopter aka "flying #Taxi" with some fancy #helicopters are a viable way to commute.

@newsbot this thing is bs and it won't solve shit.

It's just another #Volocopter crap...

CTO und CFO gesucht: #Volocopter braucht schon wieder neue Führungskräfte.
