According to
Dubai Media Office, the two-seater AAT, capable of transporting people without
human intervention or a pilot, has been supplied by Volocopter, a Germany-based
specialist manufacturer of automated air vehicles.
The AAT, expected to be put into use in the fourth
quarter, is powered by electricity and is highly safe. Its design comprises 18
rotors to ensure secure cruising and landing in case of any rotor failure, said
RTA.
“It is environment-friendly as it is powered by clean
electricity, and it has very little noise. It has a maximum flight time of
approximately 30 minutes at a speed of 50 km per hour, and a maximum air speed
of 100 km per hour,” according to RTA.
“After the remarkable success of the first driverless
metro in the region, we are glad to witness today the test flight of the
Autonomous Air Taxi,” said Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Bin
Rashid Al-Maktoum.
“This is another proof of our commitment to positive
change. We are constantly exploring opportunities to serve the community and
advance the prosperity and happiness of society,” he added.
