McFly Review
McFly aims to solve the “who owns the button” problem on today’s air taxi market. Using blockchain technology, it puts “the button” in the hands of users. Users can use McFly to push for operational efficiencies, provide volumes to partners, and offer better prices to passengers. What does McFly mean when it says “air taxi”? The company is genuinely talking about flying cars. The company claims that we’re at the start of a $1.2 trillion market. Today, 20 companies are working on flying cars. In the near future, city skies may be swarmed by flying cars. In preparation for launch of the flying car / air taxi market, McFly is creating “the complete package of technologies” for the urban air taxi grid.
Features
McFly.aero is a technology and business incubator. It offers the benefits of a global expert and entrepreneurial community, as well as portfolio investment strategy. It aims to incubate businesses that will sell and operate passenger transportation, as well as related products, technologies and services along the end-to-end value chain that spans from R&D for aerial vehicles to landing pads, mobile apps and additional services, which can be sold by the grid.
McFly token is a reward for human and machine services within commonly shared marketplaces — the business and technology incubator (now) and the air taxi marketplace and management system (later). The McFly token is a unit of value, which reflects development of the concept, participants, the Incubator and the industry as a whole. The McFly token is also, technically, a measurement of, and a right to, 1 minute served by a grid-connected aerial vehicle developed by Consortium participants. Thus, it has intrinsic value as a unit of measurement for device use, record of rights to use, a ticket to ride, an ignition key, and a unit of billing for any service available on the incubators’ marketplace from humans or machines.
