The Flying Cars are Finally Here!
Porsche and Boeing, two giant companies each by their own rights, have come together to lead the exploration of the once unimaginable air mobility concept. The two companies recently signed a Memorandum of understanding to explore the electric-powered vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft market.
It is no secret that the target market is for the more affluent section of the world’s population to help them glide above traffic-choked cities.
Boeing had a larger vision for premium air-taxi services that were meant to be autonomous. Steve Nordlund, Boeing’s General Manager expressed that the collaboration was to ensure development of a safe and efficient new mobility ecosystem.
The announcement was not up front regarding the timelines or investments put into the project, but it is no doubt an exciting discovery that we all look forward to see come to light sooner rather than later.
