A new style of urban airport has opened for a trial in Coventry city centre today to showcase the potential future of electric aerial technology.
Called Air-One, the 'vertiport' has been 15 months in the making and is housed on a city council car park in Westminster Road and will demonstrate what a fully operational hub of its kind could look like.
The 18,300 sq ft facility, said to be a world first, will be used for so-called eVTOL vehicles - which stands for 'electric vertical take-off and landing' - such as air taxis and autonomous delivery drones.
