Boeing introduces small self-flying vehicles
Boeing is competing with arch-rival Airbus and numerous other firms to introduce small self-flying vehicles capable of vertical takeoff and landing.
Boeing's 30-foot-long (9 meters) aircraft — part helicopter, part drone, and part fixed-wing plane — lifted a few feet off the ground and made a soft landing after less than a minute of being airborne.
Boeing is looking to achieve a range of 50 miles with two flying car variants capable of carrying two and four passengers each.
