CityAirbus NextGen makes its debut Airbus has presented its full electric CityAirbus NextGen prototype to the public, ahead of its maiden flight later this year. The two-tonne class CityAirbus, with a wing span of approximately 12 metres, is being developed to fly with a 80 km range and to reach a cruise speed of 120 km/h, making it perfectly suited for operations in major cities for a variety of missions.  The unveiling coincided with the opening of the new CityAirbus test centre in Donauwörth, which will be dedicated to testing systems for electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs). The centre, which is part of Airbus’ ongoing and long-term investment in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), began its operations with the CityAirbus NextGen’s power-on in December 2023 and it will be now used for the remaining tests required before the prototype’s maiden flight later in the year. These tests cover the electric motors with their eight rotors as well as the aircraft’s other systems such as flight controls and avionics. “Rolling out CityAirbus NextGen for the very first time is an important and very real step that we are taking towards advanced air mobility and our future product and market. Thank you to our community, team and partners all over the world for helping us make this a reality,” said Balkiz Sarihan, Head of Urban Air Mobility at Airbus. At the same time, Airbus is expanding its global network and partnerships to create a unique ecosystem that will foster a successful and viable AAM market. Airbus recently signed a partnership agreement with LCI, a leading aviation company, to focus on the development of partnership scenarios and business models in three core AAM areas: strategy, commercialisation and financing. #AirbusHeli #AAM #CityAirbusNextGen #lci

🚁 Calling an air taxi instead of an Uber for your ride home soon(-ish)? Airbus has introduced its electric CityAirbus NextGen prototype, which is set to fly for the first time later this year. The unveiling happened alongside the launch of a new test center in Donauwörth, Germany, dedicated to electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. ⦿ The CityAirbus is designed for urban operations with an 80 km range and a cruise speed of 120 km/h ⦿ Tests will cover various systems before the prototype's first flight, including electric motors, flight controls, and avionics ⦿ Airbus is expanding partnerships, including a recent agreement with LCI, focusing on strategy, commercialization, and financing in the Advanced Air Mobility market When will this become a real transportation option? The timeline for the widespread adoption of air taxis depends on many factors such as regulatory approvals, technological advancements, infrastructure development, and public acceptance. While some trials and prototypes are already in progress, achieving full-scale commercial operation of air taxis may take several years. One could see significant deployment within the next decade, particularly in urban areas with high demand for efficient transportation solutions. Precise predictions are challenging due to the complex nature of integrating air taxis into existing airspace and transportation systems. Which city do you think will have the first bookable air taxi? #Airbus #CityAirbus #FutureOfTransportation #AdvancedAirMobility
