Another [**aeroplane**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2190/starlink-a-private-aeroplane-internet-service-is-launched-by-spacex) with propellers was ascending vertically from the ground before accelerating upward in the sky. \ According to its designer, the first unmanned flight of an Israeli-made [electric vehicle](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2275/starting-price-for-the-mercedes-benz-eqe-electric-vehicle-is-76-050) that will let the **[product](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/75385/full-product-keys) reach the market over the next two years and carry passengers on brief excursions above congested roadways.** Given the significant advancements in drone technology, the test-phase voyage may not initially seem unusual. Another aeroplane with propellers was ascending vertically from the ground before accelerating upward in the sky. But according to the Israeli firm AIR, this one will be able to travel up to 100 kilometres with two people aboard – a driver and a passenger.
