Picture this: You’re stuck in traffic that feels straight out of a dystopian movie. 🚗💨 Now imagine zipping above it all in a sleek, electric aircraft. Enter eVTOLs—electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles—poised to revolutionize urban mobility with quieter, eco-friendly tech. 🌱
As cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen grapple with congestion, innovators on a southern Chinese island are testing prototypes that could turn sci-fi dreams into reality. CGTN’s Wang Tianyu explored one such hub, where engineers are tackling challenges like battery efficiency and air traffic control. ⚡️✈️
But would you trust a flying taxi? While costs and safety regulations remain hurdles, experts say eVTOLs could debut in cities within this decade. 🚀
