First prototype of electric self-flying air taxi revealed by Bell

Definitely, technology isn't going to stop at any level at this time. Excitingly, Bell happens to be a pretty old technology outfit and has been in the aviation sector for a while. Today, the company has unveiled the Bell Nexus - an air taxi which is powered by a hybrid-electric propulsion system that feature's Bell's signature powered lift concept.

The Bell Nexus is a full-scale design of a vertical-takeoff-and-lading (VTOL) aircraft and was unveiled at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, United States.

 

“As space at the ground level becomes limited, we must solve transportation challenges in the vertical dimension — and that’s where Bell’s on-demand mobility vision takes hold,” said Mitch Snyder, president and CEO of Bell in a release. “The industry has anticipated the reveal of our air taxi for some time, so Bell is very proud of this moment. We believe the design, taken with our strategic approach to build this infrastructure, will lead to the successful development of the Bell Nexus to the world.”
