Taxiuri zburătoare pentru trupe. Armata Britanică cumpără aeronave electrice. S-ar lansa în anul 2029 • Newsweek România

The British Army plans to launch a fleet of electric flying taxis by 2029, focusing on eVTOL technology developed by Vertical Aerospace. The VX4 aircraft will provide a quieter and more agile alternative to traditional military helicopters, enabling troop resupply in isolated areas with reduced tactical risks. The electric aircraft will be modified for medical evacuations, ensuring rapid transport of injured personnel. This initiative is part of a broader decarbonization strategy aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels. However, challenges such as battery autonomy and vulnerability to electronic warfare remain. Successful tests could influence NATO allies to invest in similar technologies.
