Helirickshaw: The Flying Taxi

Before I start commenting on the above image, let me introduce our readers to a popular Indian taxi called as an auto rickshaw. An auto rickshaw is a three wheeled vehicle which has the base of a scooter and is powered by a 2 stroke engine. The driver sits in the driver’s seat and at least 3 passengers can sit in the pillion.
Gadling put up an image of a rickshaw fitted with a copter tail and blades(shown above). It was shot by a flickr user in Mumbai. It is a great concept and probably an advice to the Indian scientists to invent a flying rickshaw to overcome the congested traffic. Traffic in India is getting worse day by day. More vehicles are getting added to the streets but the infrastructure stays the same. God save all drivers on Indian roads.
