🇱🇰 На Шри-Ланке задумались об электрических аэротакси

🇱🇰 На Шри-Ланке задумались об электрических аэротакси Власти Шри-Ланки начали обсуждать внедрение eVTOL — электрических летательных аппаратов вертикального взлёта и посадки. Проще говоря, речь идёт о формате будущих аэротакси. О планах сообщили после встречи руководства гражданской авиации Шри-Ланки с представителями ICAO. Среди направлений, которые страна рассматривает на перспективу, — развитие новых авиационных технологий и подготовка к использованию eVTOL. Пока это не означает, что аэротакси появятся на острове уже завтра. Скорее, речь идёт о том, что Шри-Ланка не хочет оставаться в стороне от мирового тренда и заранее смотрит на технологии, которые в будущем могут изменить внутренние перевозки и туристическую логистику.

Здесь в это время должен начаться

Здесь в это время должен начаться 🔴 Полдень на Острове в гостиной Нади Сахно. С регулярной беседой о том: «Кому на Шри-Ланке жить хорошо». Но на этой неделе Надя не пригласила никого, вернее пригласила, но решила перенести эту встречу. Настроение в этом году такое летнее, что хочется отдыхать и набираться впечатлений. Время подвести итог прошедшему полугодию и после перерыва, построить планы на будущие 6 месяцев. 🔵 Вернусь к вам, дорогие мои слушатели, со своими новыми проектами и однозначно, видоизмененными текущими. Желаю вам всем жить хорошо, где бы вы не были ✅ PS На фото, я оглядываюсь на пройденный путь 💙 в предвкушении новых частот. ‼️Во время каникул записи всех программ предлагаю с удовольствием послушать тут https://t.me/+w2AbxiWCi28xNzcy
