Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer's subsidiary, Eve, is set to build a new factory near Sao Paulo to produce electric flying taxis. The vertical take-off and landing aircraft, resembling small helicopters with space for up to six passengers, aims to launch by 2026.
Each trip is estimated to cost $50-$100 per person. With nearly 3,000 orders already received, Eve hopes to assemble a prototype this year.
These emission-free air taxis could potentially alleviate traffic congestion in cities and serve as an eco-friendly alternative for cargo transportation. Initially, the vehicles will have pilots, but a future rollout of self-piloted options is planned.
