Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

At what point does a flying 'taxi' become a flying 'bus'?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

You might even call such vehicle, an air bus.

An "Airbus" if you like?

I'd have said 10 seats was more of a flying "soccer mom van"

It’s a flying short bus.
