Dubai's Roads and Transportation Agency (RTA) says the city will use Chinese-made EHang 184s – described as "egg-shaped craft with four legs sticking out, each with two small propellers" – to provide flying passenger drone services from July.
The drones will have room for one passenger weighing up to 100 kg as well as a small suitcase and will have a range of about 50 kilometres and a top speed of 160 kilometres per hour.
