An Australian startup named FlyNow Aviation is working on a special kind of helicopter called an eCopter. This electric helicopter is designed to fly without a pilot and aims to change how people move around cities. Unlike regular helicopters, an eCopter has just two rotor propellers arranged in a special way. This setup makes it more efficient and steady. One big advantage of the eCopter is that it can follow existing regulations for certification. This means it might get approved faster and at a lower cost than other similar designs.
