I-Russian Foundation for Advanced Research Projects yamemezela ukuthi kwasungulwa ilabhorethri ekhethekile eSiberian Aeronautical Research Institute ukuze kwakhiwe “imodeli egcwele yokukhombisa ukusuka okufushane kanye nendiza yokuthutha ehlalisa phansi ene-hybrid propulsion (a imoto endizayo),” njengoba iRussia ijoyine i-air taxi craze.
Ososayensi abavela edolobheni elikhulu kunawo wonke eSiberia, Novosibirsk, banikezwe umsebenzi wokwakha imoto okungenzeka kube imoto yokuqala endizayo kuleli eminyakeni emine ezayo.
Uma konke kuhamba ngohlelo, imodeli izoklanywa futhi ihlolwe ngokugcwele emhubheni womoya kanjalo nasemoyeni naphansi kuze kube u-2023. Imoto kulindeleke ukuthi ikwazi ukuhamba ibanga elingaphezu kuka-1,000 300km emoyeni, ngenkathi ihamba ngesivinini esingaphezu kuka-50km/h. I-drone izodinga indawo yokuhlala engamamitha angama-XNUMX ukuze isebenze.
Izimoto ezindizayo manje sezithuthukiswa ngenkuthalo emhlabeni wonke njengendlela yokugwema ukuhamba kwezimoto phansi kanye nokunciphisa ukungcola.
Kusazobonakala ukuthi ngubani ozodla umhlanganiso emjahweni wokukhiqiza imoto yokuqala yaseRussia endizayo. Ngo-Agasti, iphrojekthi ephethwe nguhulumeni, i-AeroNet, lapho abakhiqizi bezindiza abadumile abafana noSukhoi no-Ilyushin bebamba iqhaza, bathembisa ukwethula imodeli yokuhlola ye-air drone taxi yayo ngo-2025.
