What means of transport will look like in 2050? The new types of transport will require new
and better sources of energy as well as physical and technological structure. Advanced
technology and electric equipment will form the future of transportation.
        1. Autonomous Helicopter
Autonomous aircraft is the future of mass transportation. Flying taxis are definitely a dream of
everyone if they work in big cities and want to avoid traffic jams.
        2. Drone Bus
While flying taxis and autonomous helicopters can transport only a few people, a flying bus can
commute a group of forty. Moreover, it takes only an hour to travel on a drone bus from Los
Angeles to San Francisco or from London to Paris. Unlike an aeroplane, the drone bus will be
able to land and take off closer to city centres.
        3. Electric Scooter
Electric scooters will become very popular as a quick and economical way of transport to reach
destinations. Many companies are thinking about improving this transportation mode. For
example, it will use artificial intelligence to get people to their favourite destinations. It will
connect to smartphones via an app and allows riders to ask and receive voice commands about
location or how much battery is left.
1. The means of transportation will have better features and technology in the future                
2. One problem of using flying taxis is having traffic jams.                
3. Passengers using drone buses can get on and get off near the city centres.                
4. A drone bus can carry fewer passengers than flying taxis.                
5. You will use mobile apps or your voice to operate the future electric scooter.    
XI. Read the following passage, and then tick the correct answers: true (T), or false (F).
Thinking about how we will be travelling in 10 or 20 years is very interesting. Will we still be
using planes or will we be flying our cars from Paris to London? Here are some suggestions.
SkyTran
        Currently being developed at NASA, SkyTran looks like the monorail at Disney World.
Moving at 240km/h and using small amount of energy, it could be the future of city
transportation. SkyTran has the passenger capacity of a 6-lane highway.
Flying cars
        Zhu Wenxi and Lai Zexin, Chinese students, have designed a solar-powered flying car that
doesn't need a runway to take off. If you have about 2 hundred thousand dollars, you will own
this vehicle soon.
An electric minibus
        The minibus Cameo, designed by Martin Pes, can carry 32 passengers but it is small
enough to get its way out of a traffic jam. Its electric motor and low weight mean that it can be
recharged in seconds while stopping and it has zero emission.
An eco-taxi
        Taxis are bad for the environment and traffic jams. We enter the eco-taxi, and individual
taxis form a train powered by solar panels.
1. SkyTran is fast but cannot be used as a means of transportation in the city.
________
2. Flying cars designed by two Chinese students run on solar energy.                ________
3. Flying cars don't need a long runway to take off.                        ________
4. Because it is small, an electric minibus can avoid traffic jams.                ________
5. Several eco-taxis can form a line moving together, using solar energy.                ________
XII. Read the text and choose the correct answers A, B, C or D.
        You used to go to a travel agency to plan your trips, and book air tickets, accommodation
and visas. Today, we do all those things by ourselves.
        Twenty years ago, you will need to bring along air tickets, vouchers, travel cheques, and a
heavy carry-on bag with Walkman, CDs, travel journal and etc. The load is so much lighter
now since most stuff can be stored in our tablets or smartphones. Technology is amazing isn't
it?
        Airport security was a brief back then. They used metal cutleries and gave all passengers
bags of toiletries to keep them comfortable during the flight. Now, there are many limitations
on things that we can and cannot bring on board. Thanks to "Everyone can fly" tagline, airlines
had to reduce their services to stay afloat. So more people can fly and travel now.
        Two decades ago, if you wish to call home, you can only do it at an International
Telecommunications Exchange and dial you home number with no guarantee that it will get
through. These days, all we need to stop by upon arrival is a local SIM card available as you
walk out of the departure hall. The Internet makes it easy for you to Skype, Facetime your
family just to inform them that you have arrived safely.

        ‘Sky Whale’ is a plane with four engines that can carries over 700 people. The airplane
will exist for short distances between cities. The technology will use eco-engines with energy
recovery systems which are able to feed back to the planes themselves.
        With a capacity to transport a large number of passengers, like a train of high speed, ‘Sky
Whale’ will be a safer type of planes for the future.
        We will also have supersonic planes which are transcontinental or transoceanic. They can
fly at very high altitudes more than 30,000 metres and at record speeds. The engines which can
change according to the situations are called intelligent engines.

        It is a computer drawing of the plane of the future. British engineers and scientists have
published plans for a new hypersonic plane called the A2. It will be very fast. At the moment, a
flight from London in the UK to Sydney in Australia takes about twenty-one hours but with the
A2 the same flight will take around four hours.
        The flight will fly at 4,500 kilometres per hour and will fly at an altitude of over 10,000
metres.
It will carry 300 passengers but it don’t have any windows because scientists haven’t found
glass that is strong enough. It will be better for the environment than other planes because the
engines won’t produce gases that cause pollution.
        In the future, will people travel from London to Australia for the weekend? It’s possible!
Both how much will a ticket cost? The planners say that it won’t be very expensive – about
£2,000. The A2 will be ready for its first flight in 2020.
