Gosh thanks for that.

I’m not a big fan of the super high tech modern day planes that float above ground and everything I like the ones we have now I really want to pilot one of them .

Me too but these are taxis that fly not being piloted by anyone, I could now get to school faster instead of being stuck in the traffic.

This will probably increase the number of ground incidents

Goodness me, I can’t imagine trying to find landing space for those things during rush hour, helicopters need a lot of space.

With one or two of their aircraft, especially the A350! It looks almost identical to the 787 when in the factory.

#16

This wouldn’t increase ground incident, this will probably make it even much safer as we all know Airbus builds the safest planes and flying is also the safest way of transportation so I’m sure we wouldn’t hear of indicidents.

Airbus builds the safest planes? Safest planes in your dreams

#18

The technology to do this already exists. Nothing new here really. The issue is refinement and doing thorough enough testing to prove it’s safe and getting through all the red tape.

Yep Airbus builds the worlds safest planes not to mention A340 family has the safest safety record.
