Building covered with solar panels
As a producer and supplier of electricity, Taiwanese Taipower must lead by example. Its equipment storage and maintenance building, which is scheduled to open in 2024, will be completely covered in solar panels. The round shape of the building will maximize the amount of sunlight that the photovoltaic facade can exploit. The 4,000 m² of panels hung on the windows should generate 1 million kilowatt hours of clean energy every year, which corresponds to the annual consumption of 220 French homes and will make it self-sufficient.

Bellwether launches his flying supercar
When most flying taxi projects are inspired by helicopters and airplanes, British start-up Bellwether remains determined to fly its machine like a supercar. During the first test carried out in November, a prototype cut through the air at 40 km/h, about four meters above the ground. In its final version, the machine, called Volar, should be able to reach 915 meters above sea level and move at more than 210 km / h, with a range close to 300 km. Founded in 2019, the company predicts on its site that urban air transport will be inevitable within ten years. It aims to be commercialized by 2028.
