“The future of urban air taxi is closer than many people realize,” said Bell Helicopter President and CEO Mitch Snyder. The interior features a user experience control center with internet connectivity, video conference calling and other in-flight entertainment features.
“It can hold four passengers and luggage. We believe the future will begin with a pilot and three passengers, and then become a fully autonomous flight with four passengers,” a spokesperson for Bell Helicopter told R&WI. – Rotor and Wing International
