News Desk: In line with our daily life, the traffic has increased on the road. Traffic congestion is now a major problem in many parts of the world. Working hours are being disrupted due to traffic jams and normal work is being disrupted.

Flying cars are coming to the market to solve this traffic jam. Flying taxis are set to play an important role in our travels, careers and livelihoods in the coming decades, scientists say.

There have been so many advances in battery technology, computers, and science that inventors are now building different types of flying cars for personal use. At the same time, they have invented a method of guiding which vehicle will travel in the sky.

Flying cars will be much smaller in size than commercial aircraft. Most are designed with rotating propellers or rotors, like helicopters, instead of wings, so that cars can go up or down the sky steeply.

The biggest thing is - these flying cars are designed to move quickly from one place to another. Especially in congested cities so that people can reach their destination quickly. Several new companies have sprung up to build commercial aircraft, flying motorbikes and private flying taxis.

A number of entrepreneurial donors, as well as car and airline companies, are preparing to invest in this promising industry. They estimate that by 2040, it could become a শিল্প 1.5 trillion industry.

In the meantime, the aviation authority has also begun work on outlining new regulations and safety standards for air transport.

German-based company Volokopter has licensed the first commercial use of their Volosity model electric powered flying taxi. According to the company's plan, this vehicle will be able to fly unmanned in the future.

In the beginning, only one passenger will be able to sit in the pilot flying taxi of Volosity. As a result, the fare for this ride will be a little higher.

But they hope that if confidence is created among the passengers, they will come up with an automatic model, where the driver will not be needed. This vehicle will run on electricity, the car will have no wings. The car will run on electricity supplied from nine batteries.

Vertiports will be set up at various places in big cities to pick up and drop off these flying taxis, such as airports. Since these taxis will rise (vertically) in the sky, they want to name the ports of these ups and downs.

Volosity will start their commercial flight in 2022. Other companies have begun partnering with existing carmakers to build their aircraft. In Japan, for example, a new startup called Sky Drive is working with Toyota to test fly their full-fledged flying taxi.

That being said, their flying taxis are the world's smallest electric vehicles, which can go straight up and down the sky. The company has successfully flown one of their vehicles around the aviation area for a few minutes this summer. It had a driver.
