Flying taxis – electrically-powered vehicles with vertical take-off and landing – are just beginning to emerge, and are already turning their attention to hydrogen. An initial test flight by the American start-up Joby Aviation has proved conclusive. Now, progress must be made on producing green hydrogen to truly decarbonise the sector.
Joby Aviation, which has been developing a fully electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flying taxi for several years, has announced that it has now successfully flown a hydrogen-powered demonstrator over a distance of 840km. The company states that, on this occasion, only water was emitted into the air.
