myCopter Enabling Technologies for Personal Aerial Transportation Systems Project status after 2 . 5 years

چکیده
Current means of transportation for daily commuting are reaching their limits during peak travel times, which results in environmental issues due to wasted fuel and loss of time and money. A study commissioned by the European Union entitled ‘Out of the Box’ considers a personal aerial transportation system (PATS) as a viable alternative for transportation to and from work. The study also acknowledges that developing such a transportation system should not focus on designing a new flying vehicle for personal use. Countless inceptions have already been studied in previous decades and some have even been built, but these vehicles never evolved into a PATS that is ready for largescale commuting purposes.

myCopter – Enabling Technologies for Personal Aerial Transportation Systems
Current road transportation systems throughout the European Union suffer from severe congestion problems. A solution can be to move towards a Personal Aerial Transportation System, in which vehicles would also have vertical space at their disposal. In the myCopter project, funded by the European Union under the 7th Framework Programme, the viability of such a system will be investigated. It is ...
