I am very passionate about it’s about
I am very passionate about it’s about two years ago that a small revolution
two years ago that a small revolution
two years ago that a small revolution started innovation and that could change
started innovation and that could change
started innovation and that could change the way people are traveling in big
the way people are traveling in big
the way people are traveling in big cities and we call it urban air mobility
cities and we call it urban air mobility
cities and we call it urban air mobility so due to a set of new technologies I
so due to a set of new technologies I
so due to a set of new technologies I think it will be possible in the next
think it will be possible in the next
think it will be possible in the next ten years that we use the serta mention
ten years that we use the serta mention
ten years that we use the serta mention for traveling so when we started to
for traveling so when we started to
for traveling so when we started to think about that kind of solution so the
think about that kind of solution so the
think about that kind of solution so the first thing you have to do is you want
first thing you have to do is you want
first thing you have to do is you want to know which basic problem do you want
to know which basic problem do you want
to know which basic problem do you want to solve and that has much to do with
to solve and that has much to do with
to solve and that has much to do with so-called mega cities so to choose
so-called mega cities so to choose
so-called mega cities so to choose United Nations a mega city is defined as
United Nations a mega city is defined as
United Nations a mega city is defined as a city with more than 10 million
a city with more than 10 million
a city with more than 10 million inhabitants
inhabitants
inhabitants and today we have about 30 of them so
and today we have about 30 of them so
and today we have about 30 of them so that more than 300 million people are
that more than 300 million people are
that more than 300 million people are potentially affected by traffic jams so
potentially affected by traffic jams so
potentially affected by traffic jams so just to give an example in London it
just to give an example in London it
just to give an example in London it takes you about 300 hours you lose per
takes you about 300 hours you lose per
takes you about 300 hours you lose per year in traffic jams and that’s that’s
year in traffic jams and that’s that’s
year in traffic jams and that’s that’s huge
huge
huge so that means you have less time for
so that means you have less time for
so that means you have less time for your family your friends and your
your family your friends and your
your family your friends and your recreation so regarding to the future
recreation so regarding to the future
recreation so regarding to the future more and more people move to the cities
more and more people move to the cities
more and more people move to the cities they want to work sir they want to
they want to work sir they want to
they want to work sir they want to participate on the cultural life that’s
participate on the cultural life that’s
participate on the cultural life that’s called urbanization and due to the
called urbanization and due to the
called urbanization and due to the ongoing organization so a number of the
ongoing organization so a number of the
ongoing organization so a number of the mega cities would even increase so that
mega cities would even increase so that
mega cities would even increase so that about 500 million people will be
about 500 million people will be
about 500 million people will be affected from traffic jams and in the
affected from traffic jams and in the
affected from traffic jams and in the year 2030 about five billion people will
year 2030 about five billion people will
year 2030 about five billion people will live in urban areas and that will be
live in urban areas and that will be
live in urban areas and that will be represent 60 percent of the world
represent 60 percent of the world
represent 60 percent of the world population so we have additionally to
population so we have additionally to
population so we have additionally to add to this 500 million people billions
add to this 500 million people billions
add to this 500 million people billions of people who are potentially affected
of people who are potentially affected
of people who are potentially affected from traffic jams so that means that
from traffic jams so that means that
from traffic jams so that means that these urban areas have really to improve
these urban areas have really to improve
these urban areas have really to improve the efficiency of
the efficiency of
the efficiency of a transport system so having looked to
a transport system so having looked to
a transport system so having looked to this so you want to be stucked in there
this so you want to be stucked in there
this so you want to be stucked in there so what does that mean so for example
so what does that mean so for example
so what does that mean so for example you already know one dimensional travel
you already know one dimensional travel
you already know one dimensional travel so it’s taking a train or an underground
so it’s taking a train or an underground
so it’s taking a train or an underground train regarding at the two dimensional
train regarding at the two dimensional
train regarding at the two dimensional travel it’s taking the car or bus or
travel it’s taking the car or bus or
travel it’s taking the car or bus or even a boat so the system have a big
even a boat so the system have a big
even a boat so the system have a big disadvantage so in the rush hour this is
disadvantage so in the rush hour this is
disadvantage so in the rush hour this is a scalability is limited as you see here
a scalability is limited as you see here
a scalability is limited as you see here so you have a lot of bottlenecks
so you have a lot of bottlenecks
so you have a lot of bottlenecks furthermore when you look at ground
furthermore when you look at ground
furthermore when you look at ground infrastructure the cost for that are
infrastructure the cost for that are
infrastructure the cost for that are massive just to give an example when you
massive just to give an example when you
massive just to give an example when you want to build a motorway it’s about 200
want to build a motorway it’s about 200
want to build a motorway it’s about 200 million euro and when you want to build
million euro and when you want to build
million euro and when you want to build an underground train tunnel it’s even
an underground train tunnel it’s even
an underground train tunnel it’s even worse it’s 1 billion euro per kilometer
worse it’s 1 billion euro per kilometer
worse it’s 1 billion euro per kilometer and addition to the construction cost
and addition to the construction cost
and addition to the construction cost you have to add some maintenance during
you have to add some maintenance during
you have to add some maintenance during the life cycle so having a look at saw
the life cycle so having a look at saw
the life cycle so having a look at saw Paula this case is very interesting
Paula this case is very interesting
Paula this case is very interesting because it’s a very huge city it’s about
because it’s a very huge city it’s about
because it’s a very huge city it’s about 20 million citizens and more and even
20 million citizens and more and even
20 million citizens and more and even now there is a flying taxis available
now there is a flying taxis available
now there is a flying taxis available based on traditional helicopters so the
based on traditional helicopters so the
based on traditional helicopters so the city has about 700 through gives totally
city has about 700 through gives totally
city has about 700 through gives totally copters and so it has more helicopters
copters and so it has more helicopters
copters and so it has more helicopters than New York and Tokyo together so we
than New York and Tokyo together so we
than New York and Tokyo together so we had a look at that and we found out that
had a look at that and we found out that
had a look at that and we found out that there are hundreds of helicopter flights
there are hundreds of helicopter flights
there are hundreds of helicopter flights per day so it’s only city with an
per day so it’s only city with an
per day so it’s only city with an dedicated helicopter traffic management
dedicated helicopter traffic management
dedicated helicopter traffic management in the world so to manage all these
in the world so to manage all these
in the world so to manage all these flights regarding to the ground
flights regarding to the ground
flights regarding to the ground infrastructures we are about 150 fully
infrastructures we are about 150 fully
infrastructures we are about 150 fully operational helipads available so we ask
operational helipads available so we ask
operational helipads available so we ask yourself why does this not scale up to a
yourself why does this not scale up to a
yourself why does this not scale up to a mass market so it’s difficult to ask to
mass market so it’s difficult to ask to
mass market so it’s difficult to ask to answer that but surely one thing is the
answer that but surely one thing is the
answer that but surely one thing is the economics so it’s very expensive to fly
economics so it’s very expensive to fly
economics so it’s very expensive to fly of an helicopter
of an helicopter
of an helicopter and currently the flight hours about two
and currently the flight hours about two
and currently the flight hours about two and a half thousand dollar and addition
and a half thousand dollar and addition
and a half thousand dollar and addition to that when you want to have about
to that when you want to have about
to that when you want to have about thousands of air vehicles over Sao Paulo
thousands of air vehicles over Sao Paulo
thousands of air vehicles over Sao Paulo you would need a new generation of
you would need a new generation of
you would need a new generation of traffic management system for the air
traffic management system for the air
traffic management system for the air and regarding the time when you drive if
and regarding the time when you drive if
and regarding the time when you drive if your crowns or pall from the airport to
your crowns or pall from the airport to
your crowns or pall from the airport to the city center it takes you one and a
the city center it takes you one and a
the city center it takes you one and a half hour one-way and compared with an
half hour one-way and compared with an
half hour one-way and compared with an helicopter flight it’s about ten minutes
helicopter flight it’s about ten minutes
helicopter flight it’s about ten minutes but of course you have to add the
but of course you have to add the
but of course you have to add the boarding times and deboarding times but
boarding times and deboarding times but
boarding times and deboarding times but even then it’s much more much faster so
even then it’s much more much faster so
even then it’s much more much faster so knowing that flying taxi solutions even
knowing that flying taxi solutions even
knowing that flying taxi solutions even exist today what is our vision so it’s
exist today what is our vision so it’s
exist today what is our vision so it’s to enable a new generation of transport
to enable a new generation of transport
to enable a new generation of transport solution by using the third dimension so
solution by using the third dimension so
solution by using the third dimension so it’s for everyone so we want the belief
it’s for everyone so we want the belief
it’s for everyone so we want the belief that it will become a mass market
that it will become a mass market
that it will become a mass market probably not in the first generation but
probably not in the first generation but
probably not in the first generation but we think a long time in evasion and it

and now we are again at the economics it
and now we are again at the economics it has to be affordable so that means that
has to be affordable so that means that
has to be affordable so that means that flight trip from the airport to the city
flight trip from the airport to the city
flight trip from the airport to the city center should not cost more than taking
