News, Boeing recently stated that it is working with artificial intelligence company SparkCognition to use blockchain technology to develop a distributed platform that can "automatically assign aircraft to users", similar to "air taxis".

In order to develop this project, Boeing is establishing a subsidiary Boeing NeXt, which will focus on the development of VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft that can break through runway restrictions and take off and land at any time. In the future, this project will also be used in other scenarios, such as parcels deliver. Currently, the project has $3,200 in financing.

Uber has previously announced the use of VTOL aircraft for "air taxi" plans, and will be the first to open the Elevate Network (air taxi network) in Dallas, Dubai and Los Angeles in 2020. At that time, the "flying car" will fly at a height of 300 to 600 meters from the ground, and can take off and land vertically from the air port, the roof or the ground. In Uber's specially built landing station for "flying cars", it can handle 200 takeoffs and landings per day.

In the "block chain + sharing economy" proposed by Boeing this time: the block chain can truly solve the problem of trust (deposit, transaction rate) in the sharing economy; and for the block chain, the sharing economy is based on market education It is an inclusive model that currently has a certain number of users. Compared with other landing scenarios, the blockchain sharing economy can quickly increase volume and exert benefits.
