Airbus, the global aircraft manufacturer based in Toulouse, France, aims to solve urban mobility problems

Urbanization is
dominant trend worldwide
and, by 2030, more than 60% of it
world population will live in cities.
Consequently the transfers will be made
complex.

In the European Union,
traffic jams today cost
about 100 billion euros a year. Until
2030, could approach 300 billion.
Euro. At the same time, the Americans
drivers lose an average of 42 hours a
time in traffic jams.

Plus, the increased
urbanization pushes transport systems
of our cities on the border, costing
valuable time and money. Airbus believes
that the solution is in heaven. From
flying vehicles up to helicopters
upon request, the portfolio
pioneering projects contributes to
implementation of civil aviation
mobility.

The streets of the cities
is often a traffic noise: cars,
trucks, buses, trams,
scooters and bicycles scan it
space, trying to reach the road
from A to B point as much as possible
faster. However, as the
traffic congestion, the
frustration, time and money are wasted.

Airbus wants to fix this
situation and instead of looking at
ground, focuses her attention on one
part of the city that remains free
from congestion: the sky. “Imagine
a world in which travel to
city ​​will be faster, safer,
more reliable and with less stress. THE
add a third dimension to
urban transport networks will bring
revolution in the way we live, ""
says Mathias Thomsen, general manager
Civil Aviation Mobility in
Airbus. "Roads will be safer,
air pollution will be reduced
dramatically and we will have more
free time, ”he points out.

Airbus is already ready to
try a passenger car
demonstration.
