Airbus has unveiled CityAirbus NextGen, a remotely piloted electric air taxi designed for zero-emissions urban mobility, capable of carrying up to four passengers.
The aircraft features fixed wings, eight electrically powered ducted propellers, an 80 km (50-mile) range, and a cruise speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), optimized for low noise and efficient flight.
Currently in its detailed design phase, the prototype's first flight is planned for 2023, with certification expected around 2025, building on extensive testing from previous demonstrators.
