Dubai Drone Taxi, The Dubai Road and Transport Authorities announced that it will launch a Drone Taxi service in the Summer of 2017. The “Remote Controlled, Single Seat, Electric Drones” can carry a passenger weighing up to 100Kg’s within a 50 Km range. The Drones can fly for 30 minutes at a speed of 160 Km/Hour before the need to recharge again. The passenger selects his destination from a map on a touch-screen in front of the seat and the Drone flies there automatically whilst passenger “enjoys” the Dubai Skies. The Drone is controlled from an Air Traffic Command Center, it has NO parachute and relies on a set of high availability redundant propellers for safety. Would you travel in one?
I thought you were blaming Nigeria for the dreadful design.
As if they built it just to bother migratory birds.
It’s a cooler on a drone, probably intended for food delivery until the last minute when they threw in a seat because they thought “maybe it should deliver a person too”… to their grave… alone.
Sorry but I’ll take the hot air balloon. At least if the engine fails there’s a pilot you can scream with as you plummet to your death.
My guess is if you had put a picture of Nigeria’s first indigenous toothpick manufacturer which launched recently no one would have had to wait for the “Nigeria why?”. #2Cents
. Just seeing all these.
