ABSTRACT: The following paper explores the integration of drones in the aviation industry, covering the application, safety considerations and potential benefits using sustainable resource. Drones (Air taxi) equipped with solar panels are environmentally friendly solution for urban air mobility, utilizing solar energy, battery storage, and electric propulsion to promote sustainable transportation. Photovoltaic panels capture solar energy, which is then stored in batteries (high-efficiency batteries) to power electric rotors, allowing for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL).
The paper examines application of drone (Air Taxi) to carry payload and deliver them to their designated locations which can be very important to aviation industry. Charging is facilitated by solar-powered vertiports, minimizing the need for conventional energy sources. This innovative technology aims to deliver zero-emission, cost-effective, and congestion-free air travel, revolutionizing urban mobility while decreasing carbon footprints and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Keywords: Solar Power, Renewable Energy, Sustainability, Clean Technology, Smart Design, Emissions Reduction, Future Transportation.
