Transcend Air will transport Americans by air taxi
The American company Transcend Air intends to begin long-distance transportation of US residents. As a transport, she will use air taxi.
The creation of the new Vy 400 has already begun. It is planned that the basis will be the scheme of a tiltrotor with a rotary wing, with propellers at the ends, and a fan in the tail, inform Aviation Week.
It is noted that the air taxi will be equipped with a turboshaft engine capable of delivering 1700 liters. from. The maximum take-off weight of the Vy 400 is 3.2 tons; Aerotaxi will be able to carry loads weighing up to 993 kg. The device will be able to fly at speeds up to 648 km/h, at an altitude of up to 6 thousand m.
Aerotaxi will carry about five passengers per flight. Presumably, it will make long-distance flights between New York and Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
At the moment, the company's designers are already testing small prototypes, software, and aircraft control systems.
Recently, the OXO wrote about testing the drone Spanish company Quaternium Technologies. The device broke the record for flight duration among hybrid multicopters.
