Central Asia's first air taxi has taken to the skies in Kazakhstan. The V2000 Prosperity model lifted off from Alatau City in the Almaty region before a crowd of spectators, completing a ten-minute unmanned test flight monitored from the ground.
The test marks Kazakhstan's effort to join a small group of countries exploring urban air mobility through electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, known as eVTOLs. The project is being developed by Kazakhstan's Alatau Advanced Air Group in partnership with companies from China, South Korea, Italy and the United States.
