Washington- Boeing informó este miércoles que su prototipo de “auto volador” completó con éxito su primer vuelo de prueba, en el marco de su proyecto para desarrollar taxis aéreos autónomos.

El vehículo está diseñado para realizar vuelos completamente autónomos, desde el despegue al aterrizaje, de hasta 80 kilómetros. Mide unos nueve metros de largo y 8,5 de ancho e integra sistemas de propulsión y de hélices para planear y se mueve como un helicóptero.
