Chinese aviation regulators have officially licensed local operators to use unmanned flying taxis for commercial purposes for the first time. This news could herald a new era in the air transport sector.
About passenger drones
The approved EH216-S model is an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of carrying two passengers. Its maximum speed is 130 km/h, and its flight range is 35 kilometers. This device meets all technical and safety standards for commercial use.
Low-altitude economy
In recent months, China has been taking a series of measures to rapidly develop the low-altitude air transport sector. This sector includes not only passenger transport but also technologies such as cargo transport, airships, and flying cars.
According to Chen Bolin, vice president of the low-orbit economy division of the China Information Association, the development of this sector will provide a new impetus for the growth of the country's economy.
Numbers and economic forecasts
According to the Hurun Research Group, by 2025, the total value of China's low-altitude economy is expected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan (207 billion dollars). By 2035, this figure could rise to 2.5 trillion yuan.
The introduction of flying taxis could be one of the revolutionary changes in the transport sector in China. This will not only optimize the urban transport system but also create new jobs and business opportunities in the air transport sector. Now, how widely this innovative technology becomes popular and is implemented will be shown by time.
