Airbus intends to enter the emerging urban air mobility market. CityBus NextGen is a fully electric flying car that can be used as a taxi or as a personal vehicle. The CityBus NextGen can carry up to four passengers in a zero-emission flight with a range of 80 kilometers at a cruising speed of 120 km / h.

The company claims that the car will be fairly quiet even during takeoff and landing. Airbus Helicopters CEO Bruno Even said: “We are committed to creating a completely new market that integrates urban air mobility in cities in a sustainable manner while addressing environmental and social concerns.”

Airbus is convinced that the real challenges lie not only in urban integration, social acceptance and automated air traffic control, but also in automotive technology and business models. We use every opportunity to provide safe, sustainable and fully integrated services to the community.
