Kunshan: Wings and Waves

Forget sci-fi movies, the future is already taking off in Kunshan in China's Jiangsu province. Air taxis are engaged in flight testing, turning the slog between Hongqiao and Pudong into a breezy 15-minute journey. Unmanned aerial trucks, which are capable of vertical takeoff and can haul 100 kg loads, have been deployed. Meanwhile, robots are cleaning 10,000-ton vessels and exploring deep-sea blind spots. From heaven to ocean, Kunshan is redefining what is possible.
