A genius schoolboy built a flying taxi drone in India.

Medhansh Trivedi said he was inspired after seeing Chinese drones and built himself a similar vehicle from scratch in Gwalior.

Footage shows Medhansh testing the drone he named MLDT 01. His teacher, Manoj Mishra, helped him with technical guidance and motivated him to finish the project.

The youngster said: 'My dream is to start an air taxi company. I also want to make cheap helicopters that are available to people.'

Medhansh said finishing it took him three months and 3,500 INR (3,269 GBP).

Flying drone taxis, or Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles, are rapidly developing and supporters claim they have could revolutionise urban transportation.

They offer faster, congestion-free travel, reduced emissions with electric propulsion, and cost-efficient and on-demand mobility for urban transportation.
