"Paris Air Show Highlights Future of Transportation with Flying Taxis and eVTOLs"
TL;DR
The Paris region is planning for a small fleet of electric flying taxis to operate on multiple routes when it hosts the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games next summer. Volocopter of Germany could be the first to fly taxis commercially if European regulators give their OK. However, the limited power of battery technology restricts the range and number of paying passengers they can carry, so eVTOL hops are likely to be short and not cheap at the outset.
