Dubai – Mubasher: Vimana Global, a Dubai-based flying taxi firm, has completed a prototype trial of its autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) in Dubai before its launch, the company’s CEO Evgeni Borisov told Logistics Middle East.
Vimana is collaborating with authorities in Dubai to undertake and deploy blockchain aerospace platform prior to its launch in 2020 in the emirate and other emirates across the UAE, he added.
"We keep Dubai on top of the list because the emirate has broken the ice in smart urban mobility. The government here is taking the mobility to next stage from 2D mobility to 3D mobility," Borisov said.
Developed by the German aircraft manufacturer Volocopter, AAV can transport people in pilotless flights.
