American engineers showed the concept of a drone bus
US engineers presented a project of an unmanned bus for 40 people. The exact launch date is still unknown.
The flying bus is a kind of futuristic airship equipped with an electric lifting mechanism. The 3D printed airframe has eight fans with different thrust and pitch propellers.
The technical features of the aircraft will make it possible not only to control it during the flight, but also to provide vertical take-off and landing.
According to the authors of the project, such a bus will at first solve the problem of overcrowding in ground transport. And in the future, it can even compete with him. Engineers consider it their goal to keep the number of passengers inside the cabin as much as possible under quarantine conditions.
The project is expected to supplant Uber's Elevate proposal, which is due in two years. Basically, the emphasis is on the payload, which is higher for the drone. Indeed, in large metropolitan areas, transporting more people at a safe distance from each other makes more sense.
The engineering team plans to start with flights between Manhattan and the Hampton, which will take about 30 minutes. Then the unmanned bus will be "transferred" to Boston, New York, Washington, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Safe movement is only possible thanks to proven devices and accessories. In the section "Auto, Moto" on the OXO website there are more than 2 thousand lots that meet these requirements.
