The world's first flying taxi system will appear in Israel

Skytran's flying cab, headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., Has been researching for five years and will be piloted in Tel Aviv, Israel by the end of this year.

Taxis will launch in 2018

Flight taxis are a type of public transport on high, moving by magnetic force at an altitude of 8 to 10 meters above the ground.

In design, SkyTran's taxi system is made of steel and aluminum. The advantage of this type of communication is that it only takes a few days to assemble and install, as well as the cost of construction, operating costs, and cheap maintenance.

In addition, Sky taxi uses magnetic technology to move wagons. In other words, the electromagnet will create lift, support, and push the car forward, helping to consume energy efficiently. This technology is especially appreciated for countries with unstable power.

Jerry Sanders, SkyTran Managing Director, said, "Sky taxis are more cost-effective, more cost-effective than rail and tunnels.

Not only that, this vehicle only consumes about a third of the energy of gasoline hybrid cars. These are the reasons that this type will become a key vehicle in the future public transport system.

In the early stages of development, SkyTran will build a 500m-long cushion, and a Sky taxi will move in the middle of the cushion.

If the test yields good results, the planned taxi fleets will be officially put into operation in three other Israeli cities and several other cities in the US in 2018.
