(ANSA) – TURIN, MARCH 31 – Cars and flying taxis do not travel only in science fiction. In the past 4 years, vertical mobility projects have received more than $ 6 billion in investments, the first prototypes have taken off for experimental test flights, and more than 200 electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles have been unveiled. (eVTOL). It is a 65 billion dollar market. The first flight from the airports of Rome and Turin is scheduled for 2025 and a service between Milan and Cortina is being studied in 2026. The study “The Economics of Vertical Mobility”, presented by Porsche Consulting in preview at Vtm, takes stock of the sector (Vehicle and Trasportation Technology Innovation Meeting), the international convention dedicated to innovation in mobility.
To give everyone the opportunity to use an air taxi with the ease with which we hail a taxi today, we need a global network of more than 15,000 eVTOLs in more than 30 cities. This service could reach a competitive price close to that of a taxi ride – from Turin to Ogr the flight would take 4 minutes and could cost 44 euros – bringing daily usage to more than half a million people.
