Air Taxis Using Coupled Drone Stations

Challenge of Urban Mobility in the Next Century

• Air taxis are necessary for future reductions in urban Traffic

• 3D dimension aerial and ground transport will be required

• Commuters seeing air taxis flying over traffic will invest

• Low altitude 3D airspace can not scale to allow all to own

• Commuter air taxis with taxis pooling will be necessary

• Autonomous and pilotless operation will be required for ROI

• Safety is critically important for air taxis market adoption

• With no pilots & minimal ground crew how will Air Taxis work

• Station which charge/fuel

• Airogistic Patented Air Taxis Operations and Safet
