Airways suffered some crashes.
And an aerospace engineer I talked to, Marilyn Smith, says that mistrust hit a peak in 1977.
That is when tragedy struck a New York Airways flight.
So Marilyn is the director of the Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence at Georgia Tech.
And she says that the vehicles Georgia Tech students are working on are different from that old era of air taxis.

No more helicopters.
Okay.
What are they making?
They're technically called vertical flight vehicles, and many companies brand them as air taxis.
They're a combination of helicopter and airplane.
And they're really ushered in by new science with a focus on safety and sustainability.
For one, no more fuel.
Most of the air taxis in development are electric.
But building an aircraft that's light enough to take off but sturdy enough to be safe and house an electric battery and luggage, it's difficult.
