CTOnews.com, March 23 (Xinhua)-- the 33rd Summer Olympic Games, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, will be held from July 26 to August 11, and there is still more than a year to go. Athletes from all countries are already preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, as are the local governments.

Groupe ADP, the French Paris airport group, announced at the UAV week in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, that it was launching VoloCity, the world's first pre-commercialization project for aerial flying taxis (e-VTOL).

According to engineers, Paris will provide five vertical take-off and landing platforms for passengers to take air taxis in the future, and the first vertical take-off and landing platform will be opened in November this year in Cergy-Pontoise, northwest of Paris, as a test center.

The French Civil Aviation Administration (DGAC) said safety was critical when air taxis were flying in the existing aviation network.

"when it comes to regulation, we don't face a big challenge," he said. "in the face of different air taxi companies and operators, the EU Aviation Safety Agency is currently developing new regulatory policies-they must prove the safety of VoloCity and operators through regulation."

It is said that the air taxi system will use the existing network of helicopters (mainly two routes), known as VoloCity, which can carry a passenger and a pilot, take a short flight from Charles de Gaulle airport to Le Bourget and then to the new landing platform of Austerlitz in Paris, in addition to another route from Paris to Sangsil.

Romain Erny, director of aerospace and mobility at Choose Paris Region, said the public reaction will determine the future of air taxis. " The second step is the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which is mainly to see how people react to these new services. For most Parisians, this is still a science fiction scene! They need to touch it up close, get into the car, we need their feedback, and the Olympics are just the beginning. "

Ankit Dass, chief technology officer of Skyports, says the "passenger experience" needs to be as simple as possible: some cities want it to be like the subway, while others want it to be safer.

VoloCity at the ▲ Volocopter booth, a team of experts is currently assessing whether additional aprons are needed for emergencies and whether the turbulence will have a negative impact, that is, taxis will fly very low.

CTOnews.com noted that not everyone can sit freely with the aerial drone system, and officials admit that they have not yet decided how to allocate tickets, but the number may be limited. In addition, they are also considering the use of the aerial manned system for medical first aid.

"We are also considering using e-VTOL for medical purposes, working with hospitals in Paris," emergency doctors say. If you arrive at the scene a minute earlier when you have a heart attack, your chances of survival will increase by 10%.
