The Council of State has approved the trial of electric flying taxis in Paris during the upcoming Olympics, despite opposition from the city hall, which labeled it an 'ecological aberration.' The project aims to demonstrate a new mode of urban transport, with the Aéroports de Paris group collaborating with Volocopter to operate VTOL devices during the games.
In conjunction with the Olympics, speculation surrounds potential performances by music icons like Lady Gaga and Céline Dion at the opening ceremony. The ceremony will be a historic outdoor event along the Seine, featuring a parade of athletes and a show designed by theater director Thomas Jolly.
