A young innovator from Uttarakhand's Almora district has successfully tested Hapida Skynex, an electric personal flying vehicle developed through his startup, Hapida Sky Private Limited. Ravi Tamta, from Kaflikhan village near Jageshwar Dham, says the prototype is powered entirely by electricity, eliminating the need for petrol, diesel or CNG while offering a zero-emission transport alternative. The successful test marks a major milestone after years of research and development, bringing personal air mobility closer to reality. Tamta aims to make flying vehicles safe, affordable and sustainable. Experts say the technology could improve connectivity in remote Himalayan regions, support disaster relief, strengthen emergency response and open new tourism opportunities across Uttarakhand.
