Taxi strivers: VTOL concepts require low-altitude ATM solutions

The Paris Air Show 2017 held in June included aerial taxis on display from Airbus and US firm Workhorse, as just two types of aircraft proposed for flying commuters above congested city roads. These aerial taxis are typically vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, often using a distributed propulsion system with four or more rotors, unlike any helicopter.
