أعلنت شركة ” Alaka’i Technologies” الأمريكية المتخصصة في التكنولوجيا، عن أول تصميم لسيارات الأجرة الطائرة، وفقاً لما ذكره موقع “ديلي ميل”.

كشفت الشركة عن مميزات التصميم، الذي يحمل اسم “سكاي”، حيث تأتي السيارة بدون طيار ، وعملية الأقلاع والهبوط للمركبة تكون عمودياً، وتبلغ سرعتها 193 كيلومتر في الساعة، والقدرة على حمل نصف طن، كما تحتوي على جهاز إرسال ، يمكن أن يعمل كبرج خلوي متنقل، يقدم خدمات الاتصالات.

وأضافت الشركة أن الأمر سيستغرق ما يصل إلى عشر سنوات حتى يصبح أسطول سيارات الأجرة جاهزًا للعمل ولكن يأمل في إمكانية استخدامها في حالات الطوارئ مسبقاً.

The passenger-carrying model of the Skai (pictured) (pronounced 'sky') was unveiled this week near Los Angeles and the vehicles could be used as cargo carriers and ambulances of the sky as well as taxis, its manufacturers claim

Makers of the oversized-drone say it will take up to ten years for a fleet of taxis to be operational but hopes they can be used in emergencies beforehand

Like a drone, the vehicle from Alaka'i Technologies takes off and lands vertically and has a range of 400 miles (644 kilometres) and the capacity to carry 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms)

US-based firm Alaka'i Technologies has built a full-scale version of what a flying taxi may look like (pictured). It has six rotors on the roof which resembles an over-sized drone and has enough seats for five people

Alaka'i says it's planning a test flight near its Massachusetts headquarters. It would be flown by an on-board pilot using a pair of joysticks, but the technology exists to eventually fly it remotely and even autonomously

Regulators are still grappling with the proliferation of smaller drones - those under about 50 pounds flown by hobbyists and filmmakers. The FAA just this year eased restrictions on flying small drones over crowds and at night

Drone-like vehicles such as the Skai must first simply prove their airworthiness, like any common plane, according to legal experts. After that, getting commercial certification is another convoluted process

Prototypes from Boeing and Airbus made successful test flights earlier this year, according to Vertical Flight Society, an industry group. Most alternative options are powered by batteries, which can add a lot of weight and limits the function and range of them

Alternatives to the Skai are powered by batteries, which adds a lot of weight and limits their function and range. Skai's use of hydrogen fuel cells means it is much lighter and more versatile

Mr Harvey, the man behind the project, hopes to see Skai aircraft used by first responders to send in food or water following disasters like hurricanes or wildfires that can destroy infrastructure

It could be used as an ambulance and to evacuate people, Mr Hanvey said. Outfitted with a transmitter, one could serve as a mobile cell tower, hovering for up to 10 hours over a neighbourhood to provide communication services, he said
