France will provide flying taxi service at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Is the car safe to fly?

We know that the 2024 Olympic Games will be held in Paris, France. Many people know that the traffic problem is definitely a nightmare for those who watch it on the spot, but the progress of science and technology may make the traffic less congested. According to foreign media reports, Airbus France, Air Paris and Paris Transport Authority are studying the feasibility of using self-driving flying taxis to transport tourists from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Paris. At present, it takes about 1 hour for spectators and athletes to travel to Paris by bus or rail transit, so it will save a lot of valuable time if flying taxis are used. We can use this time to find more comfortable and suitable hotels and enjoy the charm of the Olympic Games itself.

At the same time, we don't have to wait too long because there are too many people who want to take the flying taxi, because the flying taxi will take off every 6 minutes.

At present, this plan has been implemented. Air Paris hopes to select the location of the transportation hub for Paris taxi service before the end of 20 19, and complete it in1August. Edward Arkwright of the company said that the team will test this route through the existing helicopter flight path.

First of all, we must understand the definition of flying car. Of course, flying cars can't be a simple addition of "I have a car and I have a flying machine". At present, the definition of a flying car in the industry is probably: it can not only drive on the ground, but also fly at an altitude of 1000 meters in a short time, use the ordinary energy source (unleaded gasoline) that can be obtained by ordinary gas stations, and park in ordinary parking spaces.

Simply put, it is to turn the car into land and air, and it is also required to maintain the current shape and energy consumption level of the car. Jake Lussier also pointed out that flying cars should be different from ordinary private jets, and point to the daily short-distance travel needs between cities and even within cities. As for safety, it remains to be discussed.
