China is taking a bold step into the future by exploring the potential of flying taxis. With the rapid advancement of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology, the nation has established a dedicated department to delve into the low-altitude economy.
This move signals China’s commitment to revolutionizing urban transportation. Flying taxis, powered by eVTOL technology, offer a promising solution to traffic congestion and environmental concerns in densely populated cities.
CGTN tech reporter Zhao Chenchen recently explored this emerging industry on the podcast Deep Dive. The discussion highlighted the economic opportunities and technological advancements that flying taxis could bring.
As eVTOL technology continues to soar, China’s investment in the low-altitude economy could pave the way for a new era of transportation. For the youth in the Global South, this innovation represents not just a leap in technology but also a glimpse into a more connected and efficient future.
