New 'Air Taxis' could take you into the sky without a pilot
The Kittyhawk Heaviside 2 is an air taxi designed to transport a single passenger 60 to 100 miles in less than an hour.
New aircraft design could power air taxis that will in the future provide a better way to go anywhere than facing traffic at the nominal price service in the journey around town.
