Abstract
Flying taxis aren’t a reality yet but they are under development in many different countries including the UK. The flying taxi market is expected to be worth $6 billion by 2030. Take-off and landing tests continue to be made with piloted air taxis expected before 2025. But a major challenge will be the uptake of flying taxis. Regulations around operating them don’t exists yet, which makes us question, can they be as safe or safer than a journey on road? The cost of these journeys and environmental impacts will also be considered. Would you use a flying taxi?
