A drone that can carry people will begin "regular operations" in Dubai from July, the head of the city's Roads and Transportation Agency has announced at the World Government Summit. The chosen model is a EHange 184, a Chinese made drone, which has already flown in Dubai's skies. The drone features four landing legs and eight propellers, allowing it to carry a single passenger weighing a maximum of 100kg. The drone, which has a battery allowing for a half-hour flight time and a range of up to 50 kilometers, will be monitored remotely by a control room on the ground.
