A new way of travelling will appear in the next few years — flying taxis. Many of us grow up watching sci-fi movies with taxis flying in the air. Science stories are now becoming science facts.
The Japanese airline ANA has teamed up with a U.S. business called Joby Aviation. The two plan to start using flying taxis at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. They are now working together on making the flying taxis. They need to work out what traffic rules the taxis will need to follow, and what kind of training flying taxi drivers will need. The five-seat, all-electric taxi will be able to take off and land directly. It can fly up to 241 kilometers and can reach 321 kilometers per hour.
Joby Aviation's CEO said that the taxis would be good for the environment because they will help decrease (减少)people's carbon footprint (碳足迹). Now it takes over one hour by car to get from Osaka Station to Kansai International Airport. But in the future, it will only take 14 minutes in a flying taxi.
"Japan badly needs flying taxis with most people living in urban areas, and Tokyo is one of the most crowded cities in the world," Joby Aviation's CEO said. The chairman of ANA said, "Being able to provide customers with the chance to travel quickly and safely is very wonderful."
