Abstract :
As developed countries move towards developing better transportation routes, India may soon become involved. While tech giants such as Google, Airbus, Uber, Volvo and dozens of others are working on driverless cars, some, such as Boeing Company UberAIR and Elon Musk and Hyperloop, are racing on-air or underground. Although technology is at an early stage in India, it certainly has the potential to change the ever-increasing traffic problem in the country, especially in big cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore are some of the most congested cities in the world, where a journey of even a few kilometers can take over an hour. A few companies offer a lot of potential to help create transportation options that cross traffic congestion. In the present work different company offering the service of flying taxi and the technology behind it is discussed. The present work also consists of air taxi station where foldable electric charge bicycle shall be converted to flying taxi using removable assembly of air taxi.
