  • Patent number: 11414209
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile launch pad for facilitating launching and landing of flying taxis, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the mobile launch pad may include a platform and at least one propulsion assembly. Further, the platform may include at least one rising panel, a base panel, and at least one lift mechanism. Further, the at least one rising panel may be coupled to the base panel using the at least one lift mechanism. Further, the at least one rising panel in the at least two positions may be configured to support at least one aerial vehicle of a flying taxi. Further, the at least one propulsion assembly may be operationally coupled with the platform. Further, the at least one propulsion assembly may be configured for propelling the platform.

  • Publication number: 20200180754
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a flying taxi for facilitating the transportation of payloads, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the flying taxi may include a pod, a processing device, a presentation device, and an aerial vehicle. Further, the pod may be configured to receive a payload. Further, the pod may include a weight sensor disposed on the pod. Further, the weight sensor may be configured to generate a weight data corresponding to a weight of the payload. Further, the processing device may be communicatively coupled with the weight sensor. Further, the processing device may be configured for analyzing the weight data. Further, the processing device may be configured for generating a notification based on the analyzing. Further, the presentation device may be communicatively coupled with the processing device. Further, the aerial vehicle may be detachably couplable with the pod using a coupling mechanism.
