Passenger Drone

Passenger Drones

Air Turbines could be used from short range transportation. The system could replace convention helicopters. Air Turbines have less fault points and less moving parts. The forces would be less stressful on the craft.
If the Turbines are fixed to the top of the craft it would be easy to maneuver, even by remote control.
Landing could be automatically programmed to initiate at the touch of a button or even within geo-location.

VTOL capabilities ensure no runway is needed. This drone could easily hop from rooftop to rooftop, boat to boat, the battery could be swapped out and charged at charging stations. Hundreds of these operating as ride shares could be a reliable means of transportation to an entire city.

I've included renderings of a Hands on Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) that could potentially be integrated into the cabin during initial release of the device, pending scrutiny from safely regulators and manufacturer confidence in the autonomous system.

If you have any other inquiry into the details of this device, especially if you're willing to invest the time, money, and care this revolutionary project would need, please contact me.
