The Galeão Airport and Startup Micaelis Join Forces to Develop Tests with the Revolutionary “Flying Car” and Design the Future of Mobility in Rio.

The Galeão Airport, in Rio de Janeiro, announced a partnership with Micaelis, a Brazilian startup focused on air mobility, to test the much-talked-about “flying car.” The project, which promises to transform urban transport, will use eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, similar to helicopters) in autonomous flights connecting Tom Jobim International Airport to strategic destinations in the metropolitan region of Rio.

With an initial duration of two years, the partnership aims to build a “vertiport” — a structure dedicated to the landing and takeoff of flying cars. Despite the enthusiasm, the companies have not yet announced an official date for the start of the tests.

In addition to designing the flying car, the agreement aims to improve the experience of passengers and operators with the development of an app for managing the flow of cargo and people.

This initiative places Galeão Airport at the forefront of air mobility, bringing to Rio de Janeiro an innovative and sustainable transportation alternative that promises to change the way we move around the city and, perhaps, the world. The flying car is increasingly closer to leaving the imagination to soar the skies of Rio.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Created to cling to ships like a lamprey, the new U.S. underwater drone sleeps on the ocean floor, launches torpedoes, and recharges itself with the current.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Scientists from 23 countries raise a global alarm by stating that the Earth has crossed its first climate tipping point, while 84% of coral reefs are facing the worst bleaching ever recorded and could only recover with cooling below the current warming levels.

Scientists warn that the Earth’s most powerful current could lose 20% of its strength by 2050, weakening the natural barrier that protects Antarctica and paving the way for more melting, less carbon absorption, and cascading climate changes.

Scientists have just discovered a protein that has been silently aging your immune system and found a way to stop it.

The James Webb Telescope reignites hope of finding life beyond Earth at 48 light-years away and reveals that the exoplanet LHS 1140 b may have a liquid ocean, a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, and up to 20% of its mass made up of water.

With the urgency for housing rising in New York, churches are transforming empty parking lots and unused land into affordable housing, and projects are already delivering real units in neighborhoods across the city.
