This project explores the idea of creating a flying taxi designed for Haiti. The goal is to imagine a safe and practical way to transport up to ten people above traffic and difficult roads, as an early step toward a more reliable transportation future.
Transportation in Haiti is often slow and exhausting. Traffic congestion, damaged roads, and limited infrastructure make daily movement difficult for workers, students, and emergency services. Even short trips can take hours, affecting productivity and quality of life.
This project explores a long term vision of air mobility adapted to Haiti. The flying taxi robot represents an early learning phase focused on experimentation, safety, and local innovation.
Urban congestion and poor road conditions cause daily delays and limit access to essential services. Most advanced transportation systems are designed for countries with strong infrastructure and do not consider Haiti’s specific challenges.
The proposed solution is an electric flying taxi capable of vertical takeoff and landing. It is designed to carry up to ten passengers and operate in small urban spaces. Safety, simplicity, and gradual development are core priorities.
The system relies on electric propulsion, onboard sensors for stability and navigation, and basic autonomous assistance. Human supervision and safety controls remain essential at all times.
The vision and objectives have been clearly defined. Transportation challenges in Haiti have been analyzed, and initial system concepts have been drafted.
Next steps include basic 3D design, a small experimental prototype, flight simulations, and safety testing.
This project aims to show that advanced transportation ideas can start in Haiti. Even an early prototype can inspire students, engineers, and innovators to build solutions for their own country.
The project is currently at its earliest stage. We are starting with the conception phase, where the main focus is to clearly define the idea, understand the transportation needs, and explore what is realistically possible.
At this stage, we are evaluating different design approaches, studying feasibility, and estimating costs and price ranges for components, development, and long-term operation. This includes researching materials, energy requirements, safety constraints, and economic viability within the Haitian context.
These early evaluations will guide future technical decisions and help determine the most practical direction for the project before moving into detailed design and prototyping.
