The aerial taxi can carry four passengers along with a pilot, delivering reliable and comfortable air travel with vertical take-off and landing capabilities
The flight also provided valuable developmental data on the human factors of operating the aircraft at a controlled airport
The aerial taxi is powered by electricity, generates zero operating emissions, and has been engineered to operate at significantly lower noise levels
The facility is the first of four vertical ports that Skyports is developing in partnership with the Roads and Transport Authority and Joby Aviation
Joby’s S4 Aerial taxi can transport five people at speeds up to 322km per hour, completing the journey from Abu Dhabi to Dubai in just 30 minutes
A partnership between the RTA and Joby could see passengers being flown at speeds of up to 322km per hour between DXB and Palm Jumeriah
