As cities are developing rapidly, we are experiencing a real revolution in the modern transportation system, reports pravilamag.ru. The innovative Midnight aerotaxi, developed by Archer Aviation, is being tested in the sky over Abu Dhabi at the Al-Batin airport. These tests are an important event that demonstrates the potential of suburban air transport not only for the region but for the whole world.
According to company representatives, if the Midnight aerotaxi proves its resistance to regional challenges — high humidity, high temperature, and sandy dust — the official certification process in the UAE will move to a new stage. This, in turn, should guarantee the stability and safety of aerotaxi technology.
Currently, the Midnight model designed for four passengers and one pilot is participating in the tests. The model is designed to provide fast and safe movement around city outskirts, and according to Archer Aviation's forecasts, passengers will be able to save much more time compared to ordinary modern taxis.
Another partner of the government in the field of innovative transport is the American company Joby Aviation, which has also begun testing its aerotaxis in the UAE, reports Abu Dhabi Media Office. This trend is intended to radically change the country’s urban mobility.
It is noteworthy that the Dubai government has promised to launch aerotaxis for mass use by 2026. The cost of the new transport services is expected to be at least 30 percent higher than classic taxis. However, the speed and modern amenities of air taxis will undoubtedly attract passengers.
In the coming years, the likelihood of the UAE and the world as a whole stepping into a new technological phase in the field of transport is increasing. This is important not only in terms of time but also for ecological efficiency and energy saving.
