World's first 'flying taxi' approved in China, beginning of revolution


- Ehang's 'Flying Taxi' will be powered by 16 electric rotors and can fly at a maximum speed of 80 miles per hour i.e. about 145 kmph.

- Ehang's 'Flying Taxi' is still in its early stages, so it won't make a huge difference immediately, but scientists believe that this is a big step in the direction of the future transportation revolution. This 'flying taxi' will prove to be a boon to get from one place to another within minutes without getting stuck in traffic jams. Due to this, not only time will be saved but also many other benefits which cannot be imagined. A lot of damage can be avoided due to the present means of transport.

Two decades ago, those who said that 'flying taxis' would come for transportation were laughed at. Saying this seemed like bhi deewana aur sunta bhi deewana but now it has become a reality. A 'flying taxi' seen only in a science fiction is going to start in China for the first time in the world. In Guangzhou, China, a company called Ehang has received permission to operate 'flying taxis'. Ehang is a US registered company and became the first company in the world to get a license for 'Flying Taxi'.

This 'flying taxi' named EH216-S AAV made by Ehang company is actually a drone. Developed in China, this drone will run on electric batteries. This 'flying taxi' is an electric vertical take-off and landing (EVOT). Meaning, will go straight up in the air from the ground and then land directly on the ground at the destination.

This 'flying taxi' is a kind of drone so it does not require a pilot to operate it. This 'Flying Taxi' which can fly with two people can fly up to about 1500 feet above the ground. This 'flying taxi' has a capacity of carrying 600 pounds i.e. about 300 kg so it can be used as a cargo taxi instead of passengers.

Ehang's 'Flying Taxi' will be powered by 16 electric rotors and will be able to run at a maximum speed of 80 miles per hour or about 145 kilometers per hour. This 'flying taxi' can cover a distance of 18 miles i.e. about 29 kilometers at a time so it can be used to reach two points in the same city. It can be charged in just two hours, so charging is also not a hassle.

This taxi is to be operated with a centralized command, so the passenger sitting in the cabin will have to select the destination on the touch screen provided on the side. It is claimed that Ehang's 'flying taxi' will have an up-to-date backup battery, communication system, rotors, etc., so its journey will be very safe.

Ehang's 'flying taxi' is still in its early stages, so it won't make a huge difference right away, but scientists believe that this is a big step in the direction of a huge transportation revolution in the future. This 'flying taxi' will prove to be a boon to get from one place to another within minutes without getting stuck in traffic jams. Due to this, not only time will be saved but also many other benefits which cannot be imagined. A lot of damage can be avoided due to the present means of transport.

The 'Flying Taxi' runs on electric power and thus will save the environment from the harm caused by carbon emissions from the burning of petroleum products. Apart from this, there is no need to create any facilities like airport or runway for 'flying taxi' so it is also very cost effective. One can get on and off the 'flying taxi' from any flat surface. This 'flying taxi' can land at any place like a park, field, school ground, roof of a building, so there is no need to make special arrangements for its parking.

In big cities, there is heavy traffic for industrialists, businessmen, doctors etc. to go from one place to another. A distance of barely fifteen-twenty kilometers has to be covered but the traffic is such that hours pass. 'Flying taxi' is the solution to this problem as the industrialist or businessman will be able to reach his corporate house directly from his bungalow within minutes. A 'flying taxi' does not require a large space for landing, so it can be easily landed on the roof of a corporate house or bungalow.

'Flying taxi' will also prove to be a boon in medical emergencies. To get the patient to the hospital quickly, a 'flying taxi' can be taken with one person and dropped directly on the roof of the hospital. In a way, this 'flying taxi' can act as an air ambulance in urban areas. Doctors will also be able to reach the hospital quickly by using 'flying taxi'.

These are some of the advantages because the 'flying taxi' we see now is very small. This 'Flying Taxi' which can carry only two passengers or 300 kg weight is actually not called 'Flying Taxi' but 'Flying Auto' so it may not make much difference but in future the size of this 'Flying Taxi' will increase and new changes will be made in it. It is impossible to imagine what a big revolution will happen when it happens.

In the early years after the invention of the airplane, the airplanes that were built did not have many facilities. Aircraft that could carry very few people or carry very little cargo were built in the early years. What is the current situation is in front of the eyes. Now tiny planes are a thing of the past. Jumbo jets are the era of super sonic planes. In the blink of an eye, planes are flying past. You can reach from one country to another country within hours by taking three hundred to four hundred people at a time.

So is the future of 'flying taxi'. The 'flying taxi' which is made to cover a distance of just 30 kilometers at present will cover 300 kilometers in the future and then 30 thousand kilometers too. The 'flying taxi' buses that currently carry two passengers will also be able to carry a tourist.

The rules regarding 'flying taxi' do not exist and five years will pass after all this happens, so after five years the talk of 'flying taxi' will start. All the countries of the world can afford this 'flying taxi', but India is definitely a country that can afford 'flying taxi', there is no doubt that 'flying taxi' will be running in India in the future as well.

Madras, IIT in India also created 'Flying Taxi'

China will be the first country in the world to run 'flying taxi' but India is not far behind. Even in India, 'flying taxi' continues to happen. India's first 'flying taxi' prototype was put on display in February this year by a start-up at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, Chennai.

This start-up called Eplane Company, formed in 2017, has also created an electric vehicle take-off and landing (EVOT) flying taxi like the Chinese company. The company claims that their flying taxi is faster than a helicopter. Eplane Company has raised a fund of 1 crore dollars for Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (EVOT) flying car.

China's flying taxi is more advanced considering that it is claimed that this flying taxi can cover a distance of 15 kilometers by charging the battery once.

'Flying Taxi' was approved after 40 thousand test flights

Ehang company started the test flight of this 'flying taxi' from 2014. After conducting more than 40 thousand test flights of 'Flying Taxi' in the last 9 years, the certificate that 'Flying Taxi' is suitable for carrying passengers has been given. About 500 different criteria were checked before giving this certificate. After meeting all these criteria, the 'Flying Taxi' has been approved. It has taken more than 1000 days to process the application for approval.

EHang's competition was with the 'Flying Taxi' of Israel's National Air Drone Initiative. This 'flying taxi' was launched in Israel last month but is currently only for medical purposes and has not received an official license.

A sign of the second revolution in China after Mao's revolution

Image
- Inhumane atrocities on the people caused outrage as the communist leader himself lived in Ayyashi. - In almost all the big cities of China, people are holding violent protests and gradually these protests are turning into demands for democracy instead of lockdown protests. Political analysts believe that the cause of this protest may be the lockdown imposed due to Corona, but the real reason is the growing dissatisfaction and outrage against the communist regime of China. Due to the increasing cases of Corona in China, there has been a flare-up after the Chinese government imposed a zero covid policy. Under the zero covid policy, lockdown has been imposed in areas where corona cases are high. In big cities in China, people are not allowed to go out and are being forced to stay indoors. On November 25, due to the lockdown, a fire broke out in an apartment in Xinjiang, even though people were not allowed to go out in the name of lockdown, 10 people perished. Due to this incident, pe

Talk of Delhi: Reconciliation with Gehlot, Pilot supporters confused

Image
New Delhi: A meeting called by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to end the fight between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan has left Pilot's supporters confused. After Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot spoke to Rahul Gandhi for four hours at Mallikarjun Kharge's bungalow, it was announced that the two leaders would contest the next assembly elections together, but there was no crackdown on Pilot's demands. Pilot Vasundhara Raje sought to dissolve the Rajasthan Public Service Commission investigating government corruption and set up a high-level committee to restructure and compensate the unemployed affected by the paper leak. If these three demands are not met, they have warned of fierce agitation. The Gehlot government has not accepted any of the three demands, leaving PILOT supporters confused. Congress sources say that there is still a phase of dialogue between the two and this issue will be resolved. K.C. Venugopal has confirmed this. Cracks in Congress over

China's Insidious Privacy

Image
As many important countries as there are in the world, they are ruled by almost one-man show politicians. The kind of team leadership that was traditionally used to manage and manage huge countries now appears to be dying out. Due to this, the burden of taking all decisions is placed on a single person. Hence, the possibility of making hasty or wrong decisions increases. This is the situation of the leaders of all important countries including India, Russia, China, America. China has its own top leadership of the People's Party, but its role is very limited. India has a two-tier cabinet. Besides, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Supreme Court are also ready for error correction and guidance. That readiness is sometimes expressed in the form of reprimand. However, the role of the President and the court in the practical management of the entire nation and in the formulation of policies is limited. In China, Xi Jinping enjoys absolute power. There is a Politburo and a Senate to stop them. Ch

Adhir's allegation, Mamata's daily expenses of 3 lakhs

Image
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and Congress, the two allies of the anti-BJP Front India, have come face to face again after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary made allegations against Mamata Banerjee. Chaudhary has alleged that Mamata Banerjee used to spend Rs 3 lakh per day in the hotel where she was staying abroad. Even after siphoning off so many rupees from the government's coffers, not a single rupee of foreign investment has come to Bengal from Mamata's foreign travel. Mamata's family members and others went abroad on the pretext of bringing foreign investment to the state and came back having fun without doing anything. Mamata went on a 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai to bring foreign investment to Bengal. The Trinamool Congress termed Chaudhary's words ridiculous and said that facilities including foreign academies will be opened soon in Bengal. That time Chaudhary's lies will be exposed.

A minor was killed in public in Delhi, people watched the spectacle

Image
- For the so-called civil society, this is like drowning with water in the lid - When Sahil stopped the witness in public and stabbed him in the stomach, there were many people around. Most of the people watching the spectacle saw Sahil stabbing the witness. In the CCTV footage, it is seen that some people pass by on the public road and turn back to see Sahil's murderous game but do not try to stop him. Seeing that Sahil was alone and there were at least twenty-twenty five people outside, if an attempt had been made to stop him, the witness could have been saved, but except for one or two people, no one tried to stop Sahil or save the witness, nor did they inform the police. The murder of Shraddha Volkar by her live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala, which happened exactly one year ago in Delhi, created a stir. After killing Shraddha, Aftab was caught cutting her body into pieces, keeping it in a freezer and disposing of it slowly. While the details of the Shraddha murder case ha

Uproar in UP politics due to attack on Chandrasekhar Ravan

Image
There is talk on social media that Chandrasekhar Azad himself staged the attack in an attempt to gain political advantage. - Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan is one of the most interesting characters in UP politics. Chandrasekhar is only 36 years old but has made more enemies than anyone else in UP politics. Ravana is very unpopular with the upper castes especially the Thakurs and Kshatriyas because Azad speaks harshly against the upper castes. Chandrasekhar has been speaking in the same aggressive tone against those who have been playing vote bank politics in the name of Dalits for years. Leaders who have been running their shop in the name of Dalit vote bank in UP for years feel threatened by Chandrasekhar and dislike him. Chandrasekhar is also considered by many as a pawn of BJP and Yogi Adityanath. The attack on Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, known as the chief of Bhim Army and an extremely aggressive youth Dalit leader, in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has created an atmosphere of tension and

Tribal bus services: Even the tribals do not like private bus service very much

Image
JS of Gujarat State Transport Corporation. T. Bus services run across the state. Its foremost is economics, which is rarely seen by the government itself or the public. The main for-profit services of this corporation are in tribal areas. Route Chikkar makes a profit as every route that runs in remote inland tribal areas carries every Chikkar passenger. Other than that thousands of routes suffer losses. In other words, it is the tribals who give food and water to the corporation and the rupee from the hard work of the tribals comes into the possession of the corporation only by becoming a ticket fare, from which the staff of the corporation is paid. The other side of this coin is that the worst i.e. third class services of the corporation are given to the tribal areas. Third class means third class in each stage. The people of the so-called elite society are not equally familiar with the tribal area. Their ignorance is of many different levels. From time immemorial, people living in

Ultimatum of Akal Takht, terrorism will flare up in Punjab?

Image
- Although Akal Takht has said that we will not do violence, but looking at the history of Akal Takht, Bhagwant Maan knows very well what this threat means. When the demand for Khalistan gained momentum in the 1970s, the Akal Takht used to advise Sufiani to behave peacefully, but through the back door he helped the militants. In fact, in 1983, due to a decision taken by the Akal Takht, terrorism flared up in Punjab. To suppress the Khalistanists who are raising their heads in Punjab, the Punjab Police has conducted an operation and put a number of Khalistanists in jail. Akal Takht has come into the fray where the Khalistanists are on the run with Sardar Amritpal Singh and the Punjab Police is pulling out all the stops to catch him. The Akal Takht is considered the highest religious institution in the Sikh sect. The Akal Takht has given an ultimatum to the Bhagwant Mann government to release all the jailed people within 24 hours. Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh criticized

Talking about Delhi: The government was shocked by the report about the China border

Image
New Delhi: There is peace on the border between India and China now, but the report presented during the DGP conference has shocked the government. According to this report, Indian Army is not patrolling 26 points out of the 65 patrolling points of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The areas from Karakoram Pass to Chumur are not being patrolled by the Indian Army so China can intrude and claim these areas. Areas that are not patrolled become buffer zones, thus weakening India's claim over them. There is a threat that China will gradually enter the region and eventually take over it. China's military is clever in taking advantage of this situation. China keeps a close watch on Indian Army movements by installing cameras on high peaks. Then the infiltration starts as soon as the opportunity arises. Voices of discontent against Yogi Adityanath in UP Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, voices of dissatisfaction against Yogi Adityanath have started to rise. The B
