Airbus unveiled CityAirbus NextGen, its latest electric air taxi designed for zero-emission urban mobility, capable of carrying up to four passengers.
The remotely piloted aircraft boasts an 80 km (50 mile) range and a cruise speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), optimized for low noise levels and efficient urban operations.
Building on previous demonstrator projects, CityAirbus NextGen is in the detailed design phase, with a prototype first flight planned for 2023 and certification targeted for around 2025.
Airbus is also focused on co-creating the necessary ecosystem for urban air mobility, addressing integration, public acceptance, and air traffic management alongside vehicle technology.
