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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

With only R$ 50 in his pocket and a dream, the 26-year-old Tocantins native Willian Gomes left Tocantins and has already cycled over 4,000 kilometers towards Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina, without accepting a single ride in eight months.

Has the war with artificial intelligence already begun? The US Army tests armed robots in the Moroccan desert, uses drones with explosives, and showcases a system capable of reducing military decisions from hours to just 3 minutes.
