The UK is set to welcome flying taxis by 2028, says Transport Minister Mike Kane. The government aims to enhance future flight technologies to benefit both the economy and communities. These electric-powered vehicles will operate at speeds over 150mph, vastly reducing travel time compared to cars. A recent £20 million funding effort supports the Civil Aviation Authority in advancing drone capabilities. Meanwhile, concerns arise about potential impacts on passenger experiences due to accompanying legislation, though Kane insists the focus remains on prioritizing passengers and improving air travel efficiency.
'This Government wants to see the UK maximise the benefits of future flight technologies including flying taxis, both for the economy and for communities.'
Speeding at over 150mph for up to 100 miles, the vehicles are expected to make journeys more than three times quicker than by car.
