Proving airworthiness...
The world’s first passenger drone capable of autonomously carrying a person in the air for 23 minutes has been given clearance for testing in Nevada, Samuel Gibbs reports on guardian.com.
The Chinese firm Ehang unveiled the electric Ehang 184 passenger drone at CES in Las Vegas in January, Gibbs wrote.
The company envisages a system where by a passenger simply inputs the destination and the drone takes care of the rest, taking off vertically, flying at altitudes up to 3.5km (11,500 feet) at up to 100kmph (63mph) for up to 23 minutes using eight propellers on four arms, Gibbs added.
