With a rotor structure of 8 that allows for vertical takeoff and landing, Vahana completed the second test flight on 1/2. Expected additional testing activities will be conducted in the coming time.

On its official website, Airbus said it has been working to develop Vahana's environmentally friendly aircraft for nearly two years. This special facility is designed to carry only one passenger and has automatic flight features. The design of Airbus comes from the idea of meeting the growing demand for mobility in densely populated urban areas.

Automated commissioning technology has made significant progress in recent years, with high-tech companies and car manufacturers putting many unique vehicles on the road, while some and startup companies have developed more aircraft with the ambition of introducing a new type of public transport - taxi cabs.

At the end of last year, Airbus also signed a cooperation agreement with two technology industry giants, Rolls Royce and Siemens, to develop a production project for the production of a small jet engine. electric motor.
