How autonomous flying taxis could change the way you travel | Rodin Lyasoff

Published on Jul 20, 2018

Flight is about to get a lot more personal, says aviation entrepreneur Rodin Lyasoff. In this visionary talk, he imagines a new golden age of air travel in which small, autonomous air taxis allow us to bypass traffic jams and fundamentally transform how we get around our cities and towns. "In the past century, flight connected our planet," Lyasoff says. "In the next, it will reconnect our local communities."

Webinar: The New Flying Machines: Air taxis, flying cars, and VTOLs in the future mobility space

Published on Dec 11, 2018

Flying cars have been at the forefront of science fiction and public imagination for decades. Today, we are finally starting to see some semblance of these aircraft come to life, with dozens of startups and established players around the globe racing to develop the world’s first air taxi service. This webinar will review how recent innovations in energy storage and autonomous systems have made these aircraft possible. It will also discuss the remaining technical hurdles for commercialization, the potential role of air taxis and flying cars in the future urban mobility landscape, and our Lux Take on where the true opportunities exist in the nascent electric aviation industry.

NASA Tests Research Aircraft to Improve Air Taxi Flight Controls

Premiered Aug 14, 2025

NASA researchers are currently using wind tunnel and flight tests to gather data on an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) scaled-down small aircraft that resembles an air taxi that aircraft manufacturers can use for their own designs.

By using a smaller version of a full-sized aircraft called the RAVEN Subscale Wind Tunnel and Flight Test (RAVEN SWFT) vehicle, NASA is able to conduct its tests in a fast and cost-effective manner. The small aircraft weighs 38 pounds with a wingspan of 6 feet and has 24 independently moving components.

The testing is ongoing at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

By performing flight research and making its data publicly available, NASA aims to advance U.S. leadership in technology development for safe, quiet, and affordable advanced air mobility operations.
